i don't think it's very nice of you to make fun of my voices.

let's see...i never said that egypt was gonna last forever, i was just 
pointing outthat of WHAT REMAINS of their art, religion, philosophy, etc. 
has a lot of meaning, etc. for me.

i have looks at the sistinechapel since the restoration, and quite 
frankly, i think it looks better.  of course, i'm not a big fan of murky, 
sark, hard to see pictures.  

i've read extensively in shakespeare, he happens to be one of my favorite 
writers.  and if you knew anything at all, you'd know thatthere only about 
10 themes in ALL of literature.  (No, i can't name them)  So basically 
everyone is ripping off the greeks.  all bill did was write aboutthose 
themes in a manner that was timeless.  which is a lot more than a lot of 
modern writers can do.

homer.  if that's what survived, then imagine what's gone.  for me, 
history is a lesson to be learned, that we mustn't let the mistakes ofthe 
past be repeated in the present.  all that the burningof the library in 
ALEXANDRIA (not constantinople you schmuck) tells me is that we have to be 
aware that human nature is capricious and greedy and that we as a race 
have a nasty tendency to wipe out things that are different from us.  or 
don't agree with what we think.  or don't look how we look.  or don't love 
who we love.  or don't believe what we believe.  so on and so forth.  (and 
i never said the iliad and odyssey wasfact. duh.)
