What is the musical term to describe when an instrument like a flute flickers alternating between two notes very fast as a musical effect?-- Sonjaaa 03:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Don't forget, there are a few random alternations that no-one really uses these days - like mondents. The general name for things like this are ornaments. Normally they write tr with a big wavy line.-- martianlostinspace 13:20, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I have a question. What is Marriage?
According to the article on Marriage, it says that
But it is ridiculus because it means that I'm married to own my sister! I have a relationship with my sister (the relationship is that she is my sister). My relationship with my sister is recognised by the civil authority (The authority recognised her as my sister).
So I must be married to my sister! What about my boss? I must be married to my boss too! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.168.50.40 ( talk • contribs) .
If the first sentense is not meant to be a definition then it should clearly state:
Oh the romantics. Marriage is a legal deal and little else. Marriage is mainly a legal contract. Both interrested sides of the deal (the spouse and the wife) proclaim (and/or sign a proper document) their agreement (aka Marriage vows) to enter a life-long relationship (you can justly compare to a fusion of two firms). This is witnessed by the guests (in particular the bestman and the best ...) and properly registered by an official of the goverment (and/or religious representative). The financial questions are settled. If later the parties decide to split up (divorce - which is a recission of contract), the jointly gained assets (the kids and/or the properties) are sometimes subject to fierce legal battles (compare it to legal battles between two firms). Divorces are an ugly affair with one side blaming the other (naturallly, as it was a breach of contract). Flamarande 21:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it pretty evident that when congress increases its own salary but refuses to increase the minimum wage if only to increase it to cover inflation that the congress is dominated by republicans? 71.100.6.152 07:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Republicans claim that the richest people in America are all Democrats. Yet even though Republicans lobbied to establish that corporations be regarded as individuals they do not include corporations in this list. If they did Republican owner(stock holder)/management dominated corporations would far exceed in wealth, either in terms of income or in terms of assets, what Democrats represent. 71.100.6.152 09:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
If Korea were to opt for reunification instead of war how would the differences in their economic, social, political and legal systems be resolved? 71.100.6.152 07:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Much would depend upon how threatened China would feel by such a step. Without Beijing's support, North Korea would collapse. It should also be realised that the costs of reunification would be significantly defrayed by the reduction in military expenses that the two Koreas have in facing each other. B00P 09:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
And going by the continuing influence of Rev. Moon in American and Washington DC politics it looks like American troops are the puppets of SK rather than the other way around. Perhaps the real barrier to reunification is the issue of freedom of religion more so than anything else. 71.100.6.152 16:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Can anybody tell me which four United States presidents have been killed and under what circumstances. If possible, could someone also tell me what provoked the killing, i.e. dislike of foreign policy. Thanks 15:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Lincoln killed immediatly after civil war by John Wilks Booth a confederate sympathizer as part of a conspiracy to bring downn the Government.
Garfield, Killed by Charles Julius Guiteau, a deranged polital activist who was upset becuase his requests for a diplomatic post were ignored.
McKinley killed by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in order to full fill a dream where he killed a prominent figure in order to promote anarchism.
Kennedy, killed by Lee Harvey Oswald a ex Marine who claimed to be a Marxist. Why he killed Kennedy is debated. Many believe he was a lone wolf who killed Kennedy for attention. Others believe he was acting as part of conspiracy. People who believe Oswald was acting under orders greatly disgree on who he was working for. Some believe he was working for the mafia. Others believe him to have been a secret agent serving rightist forces ie the CIA anti Castro dissidents. Still other believe he was a Soviet agent.

The concept of pravda, benevolent and personal autocracy, the concept of mir, Moscow as the Third Rome, and the duality of being both of the West and of the East have historically been ideas central to Russian self-identity. Is that more of what you are looking for? - Fsotrain 09 03:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure about this, so I want to ask. The following is a current point spread on USA Today:
Kansas City 37.5o-110 Pittsburg -7 105
As I understand it, this means that if you bet the total of both scores is over 37.5, you get $110 for every $100 you bet. If you bet on Kansas City, you win $105 per $100 if their score +7 is higher than the Pittsburg score. If you bet on Pittsburg, you with $105 per $100 if their score -7 is higher than the Kansas City score. Is that correct? Basically, it doesn't indicate which team the "-7" refers to. -- Kainaw (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
who were the founders of right to life? Probably President Nixon he was the first president to run on a right to life platform.

Ask for help from somebody else in the house. Schedule a specific time when you can use the comp, and have that other person take possession of the computer, or some critical component like the keyboard, the rest of the time. StuRat 04:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
