However, such a modern, Western idea of democracy was one that was entirely alien to the citizens of Pompeii and to the citizens of many ancient civilizations. Therefore, the nature of Pompeian politics must be considered not only from a modern political standpoint, but also fro ...

Clausewitz saw tactics as more scientific in character and strategy as something of an art, but the conscious, rational exercise of "military strategy," a term much beloved of theorists and military historians, is a relatively rare occurrence in the real world. "It has become our general conviction," he said, "that ideas in war are generally so simple, and lie so near the surface, that the me ...

having sage in it. I took a look at the label. On the label were listed the
ingredients: sage, rosemary, and southernwood leaves. When I read the front of
the bottle, I was surprised to find that I was looking at an herbal vinegar hair
rinse. Before this I never knew that such a thing existed. After my experience
at the mall, I became aware that vinegar didn't just belong in the kitchen.
This intrigued me. I decided to find out more about vinegar and its uses.
Nobody knows the exact origins of vinegar, but there are ...

... thinking, I thought about how much trouble I was going to be in and how much money it was going to cost me. I was at the brink of a nervous breakdown.
Afterwards when I finally got to exhale, I got to thinking. What's the big deal? It's just a little traffic ticket. Sure, I may get in trouble, but who cares? It's just a small detail in my life.

... and shoulders over the other players.
I had to climb Longs Peak before I left Estes Park.
I felt a call that told me if I failed to climb the
mountain I would be missing out on a life changing
opportunity. Perhaps I wanted to climb it because everyday

Longs Peak is an extremely difficult and technical climb.
It offers challenges to ever ...
