Mayan Collapse Theory

I think that the Mayan civilization collapsed because of several main reasons: One, Toltec invaders brought an unknown disease that the Mayans' immune systems never encountered; Two, overpopulation required more and more crops to be gathered, and the staple crop corn needed nutrients to survive, and those nutrients were not being replenished in the soil because the Mayans did not have crop rotation. Lack of nutrients provided for disaster, and I think a disease might have struck.
I think that yearly for the Maya, close to 785 AD, fewer and fewer crops were being harvested. The overpopulated and now hungry Copan region would have to wait for better years or start eating more of their other foods. However, the normal people remained weakened by hunger while the rich had enough to eat. Then, the region was invaded by the Toltecs. The Toltecs brought with them a disease which the Maya could not prepare for, having not had it previously. Thus, many of the Maya in this region died, but some escaped the disease because they were not fighting and were nowhere near the battles.

Ancient Southern American Civilizations

The Chimu were an interesting people. I first traveled back around 1950 years to their prospering capital, Chan Chan. I used a sextant to find my location, and discovered that I was in the to be city of Trujillo, Peru. I headed in towards some of the walled compounds, that people referred to as the ciduadellas.
The inside of the ciduadella is somewhat like a modern city, only much smaller, no metal, no concrete, no glass, no machinery. I found out that I was in the city of the current king, who did not have an official title or any sort of identification, other than his appearence. I stayed the week outside the city, having packed provisions and camping gear. In this time, the king died. The next morning, screams rent the air. Rivulets of blood flowed out the gates, and shards of pottery littered the streets. Unfinished

Vice Presidential Debates

I think that Palin is wrong because if the McCain has actually "sounded the warning bell," then he didn't sound it loudly enough. He needed to provide a bill that allowed the money to go to Freddy Mack and Fannie May. Biden is wrong because he needed to speak about the point.

I think that Palin shouldn't bring up McCain in this one, if taxes are lowered, then less money goes to the government, then in a republic, less money gets to the people. Biden was wrong in saying that McCain voted to increase taxes majorly four hundred seventy-seven times, however he did make his point.

I think that Palin needs to get her facts straight. Obama didn't want the troops funded because we were killing innocent civilians daily. John wanted the killers to keep doing their jobs.

Ipbot's economy fix

I think that the government should take control of the money, all of it and ration all of it and use it to boost companies back up. During this, I think that food stamps and coupons should be given to people to buy food, since their income is being used to boost the markets. Then, I think that the government should slowly release control of it, however everybody should be allowed to buy what they want, and live where they want for free, because people would have a fit if they don't have much income for long, and it would be nice to never have to pay for housing again. However, it wouldn't be nice for the housing markets. So then, the government should pay for all of the housing workers, giving them enough money to live for 60 more years. That would be nice for everybody, because everybody would work for the government, people would all be paid the same amount, and almost everybody would be happy. Also, then everybody would not be giving all their money to failing companies.

“Russia's leaders, rich with oil wells and corrupt with power, have rejected democratic ideals and the obligations of a responsible power. They invaded a small democratic neighbor to gain more control over the world's oil supply,” McCain said. I think that McCain likes oil too much, and we should focus on renewable energy sources. That way, we wouldn't be digging ourselves a deep pit and hopping in it, before having the other countries, metaphorically, standing on the edge, showering us with black roses. I think that the government should be controlling a lot more than they do now. It would be nice to know that your money is in safe hands, not ones that pickpocket other countries for their money, in full daylight, and use it to dish out among itself, boosting itself, before undergoing pressure by the other pickpocketed countries to have their money back, while the country uses its money to pay the countries back. I think that the government should take all income and deal it out fairly among
