Cotton Theory

please explain these theories

The concept of “King Cotton” was first suggested in David Christy's book Cotton Is King (1855). Convinced of the supremacy of its commodity at home and abroad, the South was confident of success if secession from the Union should lead to war. On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Senator James H. Hammond declaimed (March 4, 1858): “You dare not make war upon cotton! No power on earth dares make war upon it. Cotton is king.”

The South was wrong. Skillful diplomacy by the North, coupled with English abolitionist allegiances and Confederate military failure at crucial stages of the war, kept Britain from intervening. Rather than enter the war on the side of the slave states, Britain developed alternate sources of cotton cultivation elsewhere in the empire. To the detriment of the entire region, the South continued after the war to be a one-crop economy until the 20th century, when the New Deal and World War II encouraged diversification and industrialization.

Imagine yourself meeting a person who seems very reasonable and cultured. You'd naturally think that whatever this person says is a reflection of the culture and intelligence you assume him to have. But when he begins to speak, even though you perceive no other change in his reasonable demeanor, he startles you with his incredible nonsense. He may insist that white is just a lighter shade of black, for example, or claim that the clouds in the sky are simply huge bunches of cotton. He believes things that no reasonable person with normal awareness and judgment could believe. He claims it is raining even though the sun is shining; and if you take him outside and show him the evident sunlight, still he persists in his claim that rain is falling and he even declares that he's getting wet! If you saw such a person, you could describe him in several ways. You might say he was being illogical, deluded, or even that he'd lost his mind, or even that he was crazy.
You might even say that he seemed to be under a spell and to have no clear view of reality.
This term "under a spell" is very significant. Some ordinary people resort to various kinds of magic spells and incantations to make others do something they wouldn't ordinarily want to do; to control them; make them believe irrational things, get them to harm another person; and to put them into something akin to a state of hallucination where they remain unaware of what they're doing. In short, the whole purpose of a spell is to bring someone under another's control and to make him believe the most unlikely, irrational things.
This book's title, The Dark Spell of Darwinism, (the link below):
http://api.fmanager.net/api_v1/xmlapi.ph p?dev-t=EDCRFV&with=mod=file,id=1994 5

comes from this very analogy. The goal of Darwinism is to get people to reject the obvious fact of Creation, which is clearly evident and assured, and to believe in the myth embodied in the theory of evolution.
When someone falls under the spell of Darwinism, he also comes under the control of those who support the theory of evolution. Darwinism, and the theory of evolution, are incredible and illogical beliefs; they are like the proposition that that black is a chance byproduct of the changes that white undergoes, over time. But over the past 150 years, countless individuals have adopted these ideas passionately, and nothing can convince them to give them up. All the scientific evidence and plain facts in the world haven't been able to free them from this spell's influence. It is as if they've been bewitched to believe that it is raining when the sun is out and to insist that they are getting wet.
At this point, perhaps you think it might be more appropriate to describe the Darwinists' inner condition as a deficiency of mental or conceptual ability, instead of as a spell. But those who believe in Darwinism include educated individuals, professors and even Nobel Prizewinners. Rather than indicating any lack of conceptual ability, their attachment to Darwinism shows that they are under some kind of spell.
The purpose of this book is to rescue people from Darwinism's influence by revealing the exact ways in which it effects its persuasions and by uncovering the efforts that Darwinists make to prevent this illusion from losing its power. At the same time, we'll help you employ your own conscience and intelligence to consider—and understand—the self-evident fact of Creation.
Anyone who's been rescued from the spell of Darwinism and grasps the reality of Creation will also understand that God(Allah), the Lord of all the Worlds, has created him as well. This fact is the greatest import, because the sole purpose for the world's coming into existence is so that for people may come to know God and serve Him.

Why are you so threatened by this scientific theory that you have to make up a simplistic analogy and then make fun of your own simplification?

I have a theory that there is a parallel universe where human beings all have only one foot. They've been fighting cotton shortages for the last 100 years due to a wicked infestation of boll weevils, so they must get socks from other dimensions in order to keep their feet warm in their constant state of winter. Or maybe they just get stuck to the sides and other people steal them and use them to wipe down their cars. What's your theory? Best answer for the most creative and original theory.

I think that when socks go missing there is a sock monster (you know this is cookie monsters cousin lol) he seems to be confused because he thinks that socks are our currency and when he gets hungry he eats only one sock and saves the others in hopes to take over the world. when in reality it drives us mental wondering where the hell the socks went. and it is his ultimate goal to take over our world by stealing all our socks and thinking that they are our money as the socks pile up he thinks he is getting rich and plans to one day take over the world as we know it.

i have harrible acne, yesterday i read that putting a hot wetcloth on your face then rubbing witch hazel with a cotton ball on your face after helps your acne.

does this theory hold true? thx.

YES - put the hot cloth on your acne - that will open and loosen the pore of the acne.

Witch Hazel is good because it contains no alcohol and gentle to your skin. It is good to keep it in the refrigerator - will feel good on your skin.

I used it when I had acne as a teenager (am 45 years old now) and my Mom told me it worked for her as a teenager - so I tried and yes - IT WORKS!

Good luck!

P.S. Remember, just because you have oily skin, doesn't mean it doesn't need moisturizer (oil free). The skin will actually produce more oil if it does not have a balance of moisture.
