I do - Miles' wife left him because she thought he was crazy.  She and their children were aging but he and the animals weren't (doesn't the cow live after getting shot or something?).  She doesn't want her children exposed to his insanity so she takes them and leaves.  I hope you enjoyed the book!

He went without fighting.  That's not quite the same thing.  Willingly implies that he wanted to go.  He didn't.  He prayed for God to stop.  He prayed that it wouldn't end that way.  But he knew that it was ultimately God's will, not his.  So he agreed, and yes, he did have the choice to follow God or not.  He chose to follow God.  That doesn't mean that he went willingly.  There's a slight distinction.\n\n**EDIT**\nI don't think that it was God's divine plan to have to kill Jesus.  The prophecies that I'm familiar with say nothing of Jesus dying.  They say that a branch of Jesse's tree will sprout and bring great joy, restore God's people, and show people the light.  That's why they were expecting a Political Messiah, a military leader to free them.  Isaiah also says that the One will rejoice in obeying God.  He fulfilled his destiny according to the prophecies.  He showed people the light, he obeyed God.  That is what led to his ultimate cruxifiction...obedience, not willingness.\n\nAnd Jesus was afraid in the Garden, he begs God to stop it, to take the cup away.  In my Bible, that is opened right now in Matthew 26:39 Jesus says "Let this cup of suffering be taken away from me.  Yet I want your will, not mine."\n\nIf he was willing, it would have also been his will.

I would say that Paul's ministry was on of total submission to his Savior , Jesus.  He went where he was sent, no matter the risk.  He knew he was destined to go into the heart of Rome.  He was arrested and had the ability as a roman citizen to immediately tell his captors who he was.  He would have been released from captivity, by the Judge.  Instead he appealed to Caesar even though it could mean his ultimate demise.  Now that is submission.

I for one almost gagged when I heard he was coming to the colorado supermax...then i read a list of other infamous prisoners there, yikes!  remind me  to never drive past the town of florence lol.  I absolutely think the US messed up by giving him life.  He didn't even want to live and he is only a detriment to himself and society so it's a lose-lose situation as I see it.  lol i'm going to go find a fluff q now! :p

B\n\nAtlanta was a hub for the southern rail system. They also had industry for producing arms for the southern military.\n\nSherman had orders not to level Atlanta, however he was told not to allow the trains to fall back in to southern hands, so he burnt them. The fire spread to the city and well the rest is history.

Venice is made up of low-lying islands. To get to the mainland, they had to be good at making and using boats. So I guess fishing came easy to them (they probably had to fish since there isn't alot of agriculture on the islands)

No, he was a refugee from a dying planet.  Krypton exploded, therefore he has no home to return to.  I think he came to earth in the 1930s when immigration laws were different.

We had a chance at annexing Mexico once, but the issue at the time was slavery and the Northern Free States were afraid of being superceded by the Southern Slave States in the Congress. So, we left the country alone and only took the land we believe we were entitled to, which was the South West including California. To take over Mexico now would be a very bad idea. Best to settle our own affairs and help Mexico in a better fashion.

in the days of slavery there wasnt a easy way to get to mexico , the slaves never ran into the southwest toward mexico, they ran into the north where if they made it they would have been considered free men

I once read that in the Bible they had a passage that said that they remove your soul from your body from your neck behind your head.  That is why Marcellus has a band-aid on his neck and apparently his soul is in the briefcase.  I don't know but it sound cool.  In reality it is just a cool gimick Tarantino used.

Everything would have gotten really bloody. He didn't have the patience to deal with rivals or his friends. He would just order his rivals to be killed. Much of the Corleone family business was helping friends get what they needed. First scene, first movie, that guy asked The Godfather to get revenge for his daughter. Sonny wouldn't have to patience to sit there and listen to them. So then he would be making more enemies by killing those who opposed him and he would have fewer friends. Ultimately, he was doomed to die.
