.... as opium parlors proliferated all throughout China in the early part of the nineteenth century. This trafficing, it should be stressed, was a criminal activity after 1836, but the British traders generously bribed Canton officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on Chinese society were devestating. In fact, there are few periods in Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of pure human misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 and began to aggressively close down the opium dens. Lin Tse-hsü The key player in the prelude to war was a brilliant and highly mo ....

.... B, J, &L). Although there are no exact figures, the cost of the war is estimated at more than two trillion dollars. The United States alone spent an estimated $341 billion during World War II. However, this did include $50 billion for lend-lease supplies, of which $31 billion went to Britain, $11 billion to the Soviet Union, $5 billion to China, and $3 billion to thirty five other countries. Once totals were all added up, the United States was found to have spent the most on the war by far. Germany was next, having spent $272 billion; followed by the Soviet Union spending $192 billion. Next was Britain who spent $120 billion followed by Italy's billion and Japan's $56 ....

.... that admission came, and that only came because of him having to testify in front of Kenneth Starr’s Grand Jury. Your admission last night was very disappointing. Although you admitted to answering questions truthfully, what happened to completely? How many questions did you leave unanswered? How many more lies will Kenneth Starr’s investigation uncover? Where was the term "I lied" in your speech? You admitted nothing. You went before the people and gave a pitiful speech so that it can be spun as a heart-felt admission of guilt in front of the American people. It is to be hoped that most people will be able to see through this obvious facade and see the trut ....

.... to grow because there was a scarcity of labor. Cultivation of crops on plantations could be supervised while slaves used simple routines to harvest them, the low price at which slaves could be bought, and earning profits as a bonus for not having to pay hired work. Slaves turned to freedom for more than one reason. Some were obsessed with being free and living a life where they were not told how to live. Others ran due to fear of being separated or sold from friends and family. Then there were some who were treated so cruelly, that it forced them to run just to stay alive.

.... the Mayan Indians, the first stage of Fanon's theory, assimilation, began formalizing. Throughout history the colonizers of Mexico were more technologically advanced than the natives. The Europeans had guns, cannons and massive ships. Not only did these possessions enable them to have greater brute force, but it took the white man to the level of the gods in the eyes of the natives. The colonizers could easily take advantage of this reverence. Fanon states "The effect consciously sought by colonialism was to drive into the natives' heads the idea that if the settlers were to leave, they would at once fall back into barbarism, degradation, and bestiality."(Fanon 2 ....

.... that the big bang arose from a singularity, or a point of infinite distortion of space and time. He later refined this concept by viewing all such scientific theories as secondary attempts to describe a reality in which concepts such as singularities have no meaning, and where space and time form a closed surface without boundary. He also discovered that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. During his work in Cambridge, Stephen s held the chair as Lucasian professor of mathematics which was once held by Newton. still clearly insists that what we think of as real time has a beginning at the Big B ....
