Does anybody here have a good website where I can find information on Facist regiemes? I have a history report to do, and I’m a little stuck, information wise. I thank you in advance. ---

We don’t normally do people’s homework for them, sorry. But here’s a link to my favorite search engine. > **[Google](https://www.google.com)** > > Celebrating the late We:wa! #GoogleDoodle Try a search string like “history fascism”, you’ll get tons of hits. 🙂 ---

And–I’m sorry if you think that’s hardnosed, but if you were my kid and you said, “Mom, I have to do a history report, would you go down to the library and get me some books on Fascism?”, I’d say, “no”, since doing the research is part of the process. I’d be happy to _drive_ you down to the library and wait while you picked out some books, but go down there and get them for you? No, sorry. ---

**Duck**. . .I’m sorry I offended you by my request, I just wanted to know if anybody knew of a good site that would relate to my report. Oh, and your post about driving me to the library? Well, giving me a link would be the same idea. You’re showing me where to go while I pick out what I need. ---

**JimSox** : **Ducky** has just driven you to the best library online: Google can find anything in no time flat. It sorts results based on _relevance_, not keyword matches, so the first link is usually what you want. Take her advice and you’ll have more than you can handle. 🙂 ---

And it helps to spell the word you’re looking for correctly. ---

I’m not offended. 🙂 Did I sound offended? 😕 I’m not. 🙂 If I were offended, Jim, I’d have snarled something like, “Do your own damn homework”, as some people here in GQ have been known to do, to folks looking for homework help. But I didn’t. 'Cause I wasn’t. So. ---

Okay, **Duck** , I believe you. I’m sorry I got a little defensive. I just didn’t take kindly to the “Do your own homework” remark. It’s cool though. . .it’s cool. ---
