- ... as only being able to fill male sexual desires. To say that pictures featuring nudity, etc, are making objects out of women is foolish. One should consider females who pin-up posters of male rock stars or children who collect hockey or baseball cards. Society, however, does not say that objects are being made out of these rock stars and sports heroes; pictures of clothed people are no less objects than pictures of naked people. Many complaints are also made to the effect that pornography only offers a one- dimensional view to life; that ...
- 132: The Good Death -
- ... Miller, Kenneth, pg. 38). But to kill yourself along with others will only put you further away from God. Not everyone can be a suicide bomber, but those who make the grade are seen as stars, their faces captured on posters, key chains and collectors cards (Miller, Kenneth, pg. 38).

- 134: Mysteries of the Sphinx
- ... the Giza Plateau was laid out as an earthly 'map' of the constellation Orion. The sphinx, in other words, was made to look at his own image in the horizon (Bauval 31). So were the stars in today's constellation of Orion also identified as a lion by the ancient Egyptians of 10,500 BC? According to Robert Bauvel, yes. Bauval believes the ancient Egyptians not only had a lion in their zodiac, but also mapped their lion constellations to the same, identical stars that are in the modern-day constellations (Paulson 2).

- 135: Disneyland
- ... three. To this day I still remember shaking Mickey Mouse's hand, giving Goofy a hug, and meeting all of the rest of my favorite Disney characters. It was a truly euphoric experience to meet stars of all my favorite cartoons that I so loyally watched every morning. When I reached preschool, and found out how to brag, my trip to Disneyland was some of my best ammo. I laugh now at the fact that Mickey and Goofy were just normal people, yet I was overwhelmed at the time to meet such stars. Several years passed, and I was now a twelve year old who remembered Disneyland as a place where little kids go to meet Mickey Mouse. Fortunately upon arrival to the park I realized I was ...

Instead, Willis ...

An American astronomer, Frank Drake, tried to detail the probability of life elsewhere in the galaxy, and according to him, 10 per cent of nearly 400 billion stars in our galaxy are similarly like our sun. Therefore about 40 billion are possibly life-giving stars, and of these, maybe only 4 billion are like our Earth. The remaining 90 per cent are either too hot or too cold. Of course life and intelligence are not the same, and that means ...
