Daycare center may go in near sex offenders

A church in Tampa, FL is planning on building a daycare center and preschool it says “the neighborhood desperately needs.”
We target working families that can’t afford a quality pre-school.
I hope that means that they will be providing a quality pre-school at an affordable rate, but the marketing language directed at people has always bothered [...]

The Public Duty of Educated Men

Some things never change:
Public duty in this country is not discharged, as is so often supposed, by voting. A man may vote regularly and still fail essentially of his political duty, as the Pharisee, who gave tithes of all that he possessed and fasted three times in the week, yet lacked the very heart [...]

A real sport

Our favorite team is the Richmond Tigers. You’ve probably never heard of them. It is football, but not like what they call football here in the states.

This and that

First off, I have found a social bookmarking site that I enjoy. I have played around with several and finally decided that they just aren’t for me. I like the idea of Blogg Buzz, and I hope it takes off because I think it could be a nice place to check for stories, [...]

Creation as an "attack against democracy?"

Just hours before the European Council sat for its week long meetings, the document “The Dangers of Creationism in the School” was removed from the agenda. In it, the French EU politician, Guy Lengagne describes creationism as an “attack against democracy.” It is a problem that needs to be dealt with “before it is too [...]
