    Tess,
    re: word origin
    I didn't look it up but remembered the conspiracy origin from previous reading and some deep recall of high school latin but now you have made be back up my assertion with some citation. (good for you and thanks; I need to be reminded that my memory/recall is at best a swiss cheese look alike) So on "seek to know" i found this:
    'Conspiracy: Comes from Latin word 'conspirare' meaning to breathe together; conspiracy theories emphasise the invisible forces and actions (of selfish harmful intent by special interests) behind the visible historical events."
    thanks for keeping me honest, intellectually at least

    Hi Tess,

    Nice to know you enjoyed watching Dexter. I actually picked up the book 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter' only after I saw the 1st season of Dexter.. and I was hooked to the series.
    Unfortunately I have only read the above book and not the others. Have not been able to get my hands on them.

    But I religiously follow the series and I have to admit it is absolutely Great! I have seen all the seasons of Dexter so far (4) and I must say that every season just gets better! You must definitely watch the series.

    I am ofcourse quite eager to read the other Dexter books as well. So I'm hoping I get to buy the other books soon.

    Do let me know how you find the series and also how you like the books.

    Tess my friend,

    Yes! And thanx soooo much for trying us out. I, me, you, we two, have a lot in common concerning religion....I know not much about it! So, you see, don't feel obligated, but know that we all can learn from each other. Thanx again for understanding. Ok, I
    will be seeing you in the forum....Just whatever you have to say....say it!

    JASS!

    Thanks Tess for replying,

    You are correct on both counts.
    Exactly my opinion too at both places.
    Learning process never ends.
    About book it is ending that matters; but sometimes you have a taste for language and if the language is good then you keep enjoying each sentence, each phrase and sometimes each word and dialogues.
    I will read this book as soon as I get one.
    My regards to you and thanks for replying patiently.

    Here's what I do. I keep a book on the bathtub, one in the car, one in the kitchen, one by my chair in my living room, and a few by my nightstand, all of which are worthy. This way, I never miss an opportunity. Though I admit, at times it seems I've turned my back on the world.

    There is a very easy and

    quick soluion to the dilemma....Both it depends on your belief in GOD! First, the scripturre that says: "Acknowledge the Lord your GOD in all of your ways....I repeat, "Acknowlegde the Lord your GOD in All of your ways....Even in the smiplest, minute, or the
    ones you think you shoudn't bother Him with....Like "GOD, will you please teach me how to read and find the Balance between
    reading quickly, so I can increase my reading production?

    Now if you do so, and believe it....It's becomes a forever settled subject! As for the other situation,Remember, any book, that someone puts the time, and the effort to write....is automatically, catapulted into the realm of "Worthy of the Time and....
    the Effort!" Keeping that in mind....perhaps the words that I shared will help in the solution of the things inwhich you requested Help!

    In Conclusion thanx for the friendship....I see that we indeed have a lot of books in common. For I have books that you have read....that I have yet to include on my shelf! But I will will get around to doing so in the next few days or so. Therefore, I
    am so looking forward to chatting with you concerning the books we have in common. Again, thanx for the befriending, and
    know that you have a friend in Baltimore.

    Thanx again

    JASS!

    What are you reading?
