This one is short, I promise

To anyone who actually read (or attempted to read) my post yesterday, I’m not sure whether to offer my congratulations, my sincerest appreciation or my condolensces.

Conversations With a Socialist

I’ve been having a fairly interesting conversation with a socialist regarding two of my recent posts.

Almost anything I study in any sort of depth comes out one way or another in this [...]

It is probably the easiest and clearest of the principles and foundational to the others. It is also the one [...]

The Root of All Evil

Last week, Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving and made anti-semitic comments toward the officer, including, “The Jews are responsible for all the wars of the world,” and “Are you a Jew?” Yesterday, he released his second apology, this time admitting to and apologizing for the anti-semitic comments as well.
