The actual procedure is the drag a sheet of paper with glue on the top side behind you as you walk back and forth across the area. But if you can perform Holy magic you can skip this step.

Didn't they have a complete embargo on manufacturing equipment to the South. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that, that was why the South tried to secede. Only around 2% of the population actually had slaves, the really wealthy, and even then they knew it would be far cheaper to have machines doing the work.

A round trip would take about 21 months. It would take a minimum of 18 months for a resupply to show back up assuming that refuel and reload were ready for the ship upon return. But that's assuming we use a ship to carry it. It actually wouldn't be that hard to have 4 years worth of supplies on the first trip. Much of it can actually be sent ahead to be retrieved once they get there. They just send it like they did the probes. A controlled hard entry to make sure it's intact and viola, supplies are there waiting. Water would be the hardest supply to take but it's possible with current tech. However, no one has actually tried to live in an environment like Mars. It's almost certain that things will go wrong and probably at the worst moment. Space is not kind and will kill you at the slightest problem and Mars with it's much reduced atmosphere is not any better.

It's actually an interesting thought. Living humans can acclimate to almost any pressure if they do it slowly. Of course you need a working circulatory system for it to work. Vampires don't have that so they would be limited to the first couple hundred feet. Then there's all the things in the sea that eat dead flesh which is just about everything.

Even though almost everything he ever espoused was debunked and proven wrong he did help legitimize mental therapy which has helped alot of people. But yeah he was weird.

Speaking of Nazi's that exactly what the Nazi regime did once they were in power. They made their opponents (anyone who expressed opinions other than their own) illegal. They shut down anyone who didn't agree with them. Now I am not defending Supremacists ideas but the moment you silence someone because you don't like what they're saying or don't agree with it you've become a Nazi. The solution is to be just as loud if not louder than them. That way people hear your voice instead of the bigots and you get to not be a bigot yourself.

That was totally my take.

It's not the kindness of others that paves the way to hell but instead our own misguided kindness. It can be a kindness to do what is best for others even to our own detriment. However, not everything we think is a kindness actually is one and it in fact could be a detriment to the ones we seek to be kind to instead. That is why I call that saying naive.
Theodore set the sole condition to obtaining wisdom as being through kindness. Wisdom, is simply the application of knowledge. Now you can learn wisdom from kindness but it is far far from the only source and most wisdom is actually learned from failure.
What you have described is actually the use of wisdom for the application of kindness. The wisdom was not derived from the kindness. That same wisdom can be applied to the application of hate as well. Vladimir Lenin was a wise man, evil yes, but also a wise man. Many conquerors, tyrants, and murderers were wise. I like and applaud your mindset but it is, in my opinion, naive.

I only used most likely because I didn't know what inspiration the artist had in making the piece. The production could have been important but in most art the process of making the color has little if nothing to do with why the piece exists. Instead it's the painters preference or needed to achieve a specific outcome.

Okay, but 12k words? No way. Most of what you just listed could be described in a paragraph per item. If I was a teacher and you did a paper on this and went into detail about how the color is produced I'd fail you. How the color is produced mostly likely has very little to nothing to do with the picture itself. Now, I can see if the paper was titled something along the lines of "(title of the piece): the methodology, production, and inspiration used". Again that's pretty superfluous but I can see that being a much longer paper. Not one I'd want to read, and again just justifying the degree, but I'll grant you it could be long enough.
