throughout the work, Othello is revealed to have
many more faults and weaknesses than a man of his
stature should posses, providing a reason for his
downfall. ...

hear or study the Vedas based solely on their
inescapable station in life as servants to the
higher three classes. However, when one looks at
their class system from a purely religious
standpoint, you discover that the class system is
not abusive in itself, ...

means they can choose to either follow the
Constitution or not. No Constitution could work
unless people work with it, and within it. When
the economy was failing, the people looked for a
new solution. Hitler did ...
