Charles Manson aka Jesus Christ He has been dubbed
The most dangerous man alive. Charles Manson has
been persecuted relentlessly. We call him the
devil. He is the reason society is so bad. Does
this sound familiar? This sounds like the same
accounts towards Jesus Christ by the Roman Empire
2000 years ago. As they have nailed Christ to the
cross, we have nailed Charles Manson to the cross.

are the same person? If you know anything about

Charlie Parker At Storyville Parker At Storyville Set
571 words
Charlie Parker at Storyville The set by Charlie
Parker, at Storyville is a perfect example of bop
or bebop. It fits almost all of the criteria we
use to define bop. These criteria include, but are
not limited to: fast tempo, display of
instrumental virtuosity, complex melodies and
harmonies, an unresolved character, highly
syncopated and masterful improvisations. These
were all shown throughout this set. The compact
disc I chose is actually a compilation of two
different live sets 6 months apart...

Lead Singer Band Members

Pearl Jam, Everclear, and No Doubt Almost everyone
has a favorite band. People buy CDs and tapes to
not only listen to the music that they like, but
to support that band. There are many, many
different types of music, and usually a certain
band will fit into a specific type of music. I
listen mostly to alternative / grunge music. And
by coincidence the three bands Im going to talk
about are all from the west coast. I am going to

Pity And Fear Impress Daisy
975 words
Aristotle? s definition of tragedy says that the
story in question should evoke both pity and fear
in the reader. The tragic character must be one
who is highly renowned and prosperous. This
character must also have a fall from glory. He
doesn? t have to die, but must have a fall from
glory caused by his own fatal flaw. Two stories,
which fit this definition, are The Awakening, by
Kate Chopin, and The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott
Fitzgerald. In The Awakening, Edna Pontellier dies
because of her tra...

Thich Nhat Christian Faith

Several times toward the end of Zen retreats we
have made together, you have asked, But what does
my Christianity add to my Buddhism? And the answer
you received was, Nothing. Its all going the other
way right now. I understand that skepticism about
Christianity's adding to Buddhism. Both of us know
many fellow-Christians who are drawn to Buddhist
practice, either because of an alienation from the
church, or, as I believe is true for ourselves,
because we find in the zen something we believe we

Theme Parks Ice Cream

The black pirate hat danced around in the air,
weaving and bobbing to some Disneyland music.
Attached to it was my head and the rest of me,
being dragged along on this wild ride. The only
sounds I heard were ones of trumpets soaring
higher and higher, trying to hit an absurdly high
note. The pirate hat and the warm Florida night
had taken control, and my self-consciousness went
right out the window. I danced, not greatly or
with any skill whatsoever, but I danced. For that
one night, at the end ...

heavily, I know these kids, that did the shootings
at Columbine, wouldn t have gotten the idea to do

Education in the Classroom, or in the Real World
Oscar Wilde and Lord Brougham have different ideas
about the education system. Wilde states Education
is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember
from time to time that nothing that is worth
knowing can be taught. This means that education
does not teach a person every thing they need to
know, a person learns from doing things outside of
school. Lord Brougham says Education makes a
people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy
