Some questions

1. Tit for tat or display preference? (Ignore the question if you don't know what I'm talking about).
2. You said "I don't answer to this. It's an own query, as well." I assume you mean: "I don't have an answer to that. It is a query I have as well." What is your native language?
3. Socrates, just before taking his poison and dying, is reported to have said: "Why should I fear that which after it happens I won't regret?"
4. Any special reason for the language/history questions? WAS 4.250 06:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Answers

Hi, WAS

1. Tit for tat, why? I don't understand.
2. Yes. This is what I mean. I am a Greek. My English is bad. Sorry.
3. Well-said!
4. Ancient history is my hobby.

Thanks for the answers. Forget the tit for tat question. I also love ancient history. In the 1980's I discovered Herodotus, which led to other original sources translated to English, which led to eye opening discoveries. The history I was taught in school was SO censored it makes me angry. Now I realize my whole free public education was an attempt to make me useful to society, not make me useful to myself. My philosophy and religious (I am now an atheist) self study has made me useful to myself. Religious ideas, especially those that devalue money and conformity, have been very freeing. Science has, in turn, freed me from religious chains. History frees me from cultural biases (at least a little). I guess you can tell I value freedom.

I agree with you on philosophical and religious sector.

I have studied (and I think that know very well) many ancient historian and geographic writers (as Herodotus, Strabo, Thucydides, Xenophon, Julius Caesar (i.e. Gallic wars), Homer (Ilias and Odyssey), Virgil (Aeneid), Apollodorus, Apollonius , Plutarchus, Josepus etc.

Which is your role in Wikipedia?
