What is True? How we know what we know?
Aristotle believed that, by nature, people have a desire to know. We want to know why things happen and how. Sometimes we do not ever find out the solution, but by nature we are curious and want to find out. When we look at an image we either know what it is or do not know.
How do we know what we know? My slide show is on September 11Th 2001. This falls down in history as the most tragic terrorist attack on America. We know when we see the pictures that it is true. The majority of the people living in the United State were alive when this happened, as it was only 8 years ago. When someone even says 9/11 and image will instatly pop into your head. It is a mental image we will never forget. When people see my slide show they instantly know what it is. There are no questions needed about when this happened or where. The only question standing is why? We may never find out why this happened to us, but we do know it happened.

Pimp, Hack, Mod
I'm not sure if these are correct...
PIMP: pimpant smart, sparkish; perh. akin to piper to pipe, formerly also, to excel. Cf. Pipe.] One who provides gratification for the lust of others; a procurer; a pander. --Swift.
HACK : a person, as an artist or writer, who exploits, for money, his or her creative ability or training in the production of dull, unimaginative, and trite work; one who produces banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success in the arts: As a painter, he was little more than a hack.
MOD: a person who is in the vanguard in style, dress, etc.
