- ... are some little excerpts from various online publications and opinions by DC owners: This is from Jim from Gaming Age: "I am confused as to how they even reviewed TNN Hardcore Heat.

- 4276: Child Stars: From Mozart to Gary Coleman
- ... unclear when or where the "Myth of the Eternal Child" first originated, but it is safe to say never before Mozart had a person expanded so spectacularly on his or her early accomplishments.

- ... be just as important. In The Principles of Moral and Legislation, Bentham makes a statement that puts the term speciesism and how we are affected by it into a clearer perspective. He says the "The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which could have never been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny" (Bentham 440). The message behind speciesism is to ... a right to serve its purposes no matter what the purpose might be.
