CSS metaphysics: WHY is page vertical alignment so difficult?

Good question and I don't know, but I would suspect the root of the problem is going to lie in HTML and therefore it's rendering engines being originally intended for document semantics as opposed to layout/printing semantics. CSS is exceptionally good at describing paragraphs, headings, and all kinds of document concerns and really weak when it comes to the larger DTP layout tasks which everyone now wants their websites to be In a nutshell: I think the problem is that HTML is being tasked for things it was not intended for. Quel surprise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
