For what, cannibalistic feasts?

Regarding your mother, hit her back, call the cops, or move. Stop taking her crap. She couldn't legally hit you before you were 18, she definitely can't now.

@Nerowannabe: Do your project on the high success rate of inuitive guesses over logical deductions. Among laypeople, wild guesses tend to be accurate far more often than reasonable deductions. My fiancee is reading a book on this in hospital, and it's fascinating.
 
I have two articles from a magazine called "Musician." I have the years but not the exact months. Is there a way to figure out what month they're from? (e.g. a list of when it was published). I tried googling for it but I got all sorts of other magazines. I looked up the article titles but I had no luck.

EDIT: The closest I found was this but it doesnt have the articles Im looking for.

Sounds great! Thanks. Congratulations on your newborn child!
 
Is Lucifer's name supposed to be ironic? ("Lucifer" = "light bearer" in Latin)
I read something about it. I think it's something to do with how different cultures view the twilight hours, how for some sunrise was seen as the coming of light, civilization and order and sunset as the return to darkness, wilderness and chaos.

I used to think there was a lot to be said about a comparison between the stories of Lucifer and the Greek titan Prometheus. But apparently (according to Plotinus) Lucifer=/=Satan=/=the snake in the garden of Eden...
 
Well, in the original texts, perhaps (Genesis and Isaiah and the NT), Satan, Lucifer, and the Edenic serpent may have been separate entities. But the fact that their conflation came later doesn't mean it didn't happen or that it is in any way less legitimate as a religious doctrine.

Plus, Lucifer strikes me as sorta Latin; so what word did Isaiah use?
 
What is the modern equivalent of national socialism?
Like what is it called to be a socialism based on national fraternity?
(as opposed to Socialism based on a bureaucracy)

Since wiki only gives me a history of the Nazi's... I want to know a modern day equivalent of National Socialism.

National Socialism was not socialism. It took the name, but followed none of the principles of, socialism. Russia is probably the nation that currently has an economy the closest. American style corporate welfare also has similarities.
