Social Science - 14 February 2007

In the early 60's my father did some work for U of MD in Pakistan in a back providence that was just reseach on some deseases. While there he helped out an old man on the street who turned out to be a good friend of the local Prince. The Prince invited my Dad up to his home Inot quit a polace) and gave him and his other scientist dinner to express his thanks. The Prince decided he really liked my Dad and gave him a little statue that my Dad thought had been made by a local craftsman. Years later he had an arceologist friend tell him it was a small head of Julius Ceasur and looked to be about 2000 yrs old. I know you are not supposed to take such things out of other countries but will this be the same thing were the ruler of the area gave it to him as a gift? Not taking it would have been a very bad thing as this Prince had a reputation for being very fickil.

This is the dream: Me & my friend are in the library at our school then me & her walk outside 2 start going 2 class,we walk outside we see the dean hosing off blood from the sidewalk, then I get a vision of what happened 2 the kid.earlier that day a kid, went into the vents looking for something, he kept going through the vents of the school, when he came 2 a dead end, the only place he could go was ethier left or right on his right was a huge fan,on his left was a ventdoor, that led outside, but he was very high up. He crawled in between the fan & the ventdoor, then as soon as he did, the fan sucked him in, it sliced him 1 time, diagonally across his chest he fell from the vents at the top of the school and landed on the ground.that is the vision I had in the dream,friend wanted 2 get a better look, so we climb ontop of a dumpster,the dumptrucks start to bring the body over and dump it into the dumpster, we jump out and the dean yells at us. After that I see the kids mom going crazy.

The story in Be More Chill involves a young man named Jeremy Heere, who buys a pill that will supposedly tell him how to be cool.

You take the pill and the tiny computer latches onto your brain. The pill's CPU navigates itself to the brain of the user, where it communicates with them as a voice in their head. It is programmed to give to individual advice on how to achieve what he or she desires most in life

I have attempted to sum up all of the world's ills into a neat concise answer and it seems to me the problems may have began when humans became so populous a creature that we all became too specialized in tasks; this giving rise to deemphasis of our common traits and started placing more emphasis on our differences.

Any opinions?

I am their to bebuild the homes to help people. Not show you how to use a hammer and nail, use a power-tool, and lift the heavy stuff for you when I am in the middle of something!

This Cowboy helped rebuild 11 homes all for free for the poor, but I can no longer do it. The woman that come on the job just seem to ruin the momentum of everything. And, the jobs get extremely catty. Good Luck New Orleans. Comments?

The reason I ask is because of the prices, the way I figured was I can see a price of $150 a pill for heart medication if we have to import it from one of the moons of Jupiter.

The reason I bring this up is because I met a human last night who just got out of the hospital from a bypass surgery. This was an average hard working human whose insurance from the employer had been switched and all benefits where on hold, only temporarily. However, there was no coverage at present, just a promise of re-imbursement. So, there was some heart medications, one called nitro something that is relatively cheap so he as able to fill it, but the more vital medication was $150 a pill, and impossible to finance. So basically if you do not have coverage, you are F****d! I have multiple experiences to confirm this, and there are millions more out there.

Hear me out.. i know you've been told that the economy is doing the "best ever" but ..
the US savings rate is in the negatives, meaning we are spending more that me are making, it hasn't been in the negatives since the Great Depression.
Forclosure rates are up 42% from the previous year.
The cost for natural gas and electricity have increase 25 - 50% in the last 7 years....

are these indicators?

I know that weekly new unemployment claims is a way of determining the ecomony, but are the people who's been on unemployment for months or whose benifits run out and are still unemployed counted in these numbers?

A$$hole being defined as the inconsiderate, rude, selfish one who doesn't take other people's needs into account & will (whether consciously or unconsciously) trample other people to get what she wants... BUT who is, as a result, strong & assertive enough to accomplish her goals!

And "nice" being defined as the opposite of that: totally considerate of other people's needs, respectful and careful, but as a result, probably NOT forceful enough to get her ideas out there or make them popular among the masses, etc. (or in the case of my situation, got an idea that was partially hers, stolen by the "a$$hole" as defined above).

If the goal is getting the idea out there AND getting credit where credit it due -- but without hurting anyone in the process -- who wins?
