I believe this will be my first and last history course.... I'll stick to archaeology where I get to interpret history my own way.
I know what you mean about the political bias, the main source assigned to us was Cicero's defense speech for Milo, who was his good friend. It's not exactly impartial

Yeah most ancient history is going to be like that. You could actually apply many anthropology methods to finding out of the norm sources for the research, but I sense the report really isn't that big of a deal and probably not worth the effort.

I'm sure there are other accounts out there, but I'm not familiar with any off hand.

If it's any help I tend to believe Cicero was generally speaking the truth, but that is just my feeling and shouldn’t be used as an endorsement of his views or his political methods

I'm writing a book report on the death of Publius Clodius and Annius Milo's subsequent trial... do you think he did it? and if he did was it justified?

Does your school have the database called L'Année philologique? It has bibliographic information about Roman Antiquity. It might be helpful.

I haven't heard of that one. We're a small school and miss out on alot of the good ones.

Pittsburgh doesn't really count as the NE US...

To anyone south of the Mason-Dixon line and West of the Mighty Missisip counts Penn as part of the Northeast.

It's just like everyone in the north putting Texas as part of the south.

Crazy!

I went to school with nearly a billion dollar endowment and spent innumerous hours perusing databases and I’ve never heard of it

Texas is far more southwest than south in terms of tradition and temperament.

Where's Texas then?

You never know what resources a small school could have, take a look at your library's databases or speak with a reference librarian. Or if you're near a large uni, go check out their collection.

Oh? And just how do you think I should make up for it? I've a few ideas, but I think I'd like to hear yours first

Don't point, it's not nice, but neither is it evil.. It's just not something you do when trying to look evil... Except if you're the evil monkey, but we won't go there.

I think you should finish my book report for me

 

[tolyk]

If you want an F, sure! I told ya, I'm horrendous at book reports.

And besides, we both know that if I were there to help you finish it, well.. it wouldn't get worked on at all, now would it

That can be a good quality, it's cute when you're talking to Pixie

My honesty isn't cute when I'm not talking to Pixie?

 

[RavenousRae]

nope then it's just honesty

 

[tolyk]

nope then it's just honesty

is it at least endearing?

Where's Texas then?

Texas is just Texas. It's its own region.

And Pittsburgh is grey area. It's not quite midwestern, but not quite Northeastern either, much less so than Philly, anyway.

So, to be a sheep and join the nerdy crowd with their teh secks avs, I now have a nerdy-ish, quasi-hott profile picture. Holler.
