Think About IT: There Is a Better Way! Fossil vs. Green

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 12, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: There Is a Better Way! Fossil vs. Green

President Obama’s energy philosophy may eventually move us to green energy, but at what cost? His philosophy is to restrict the development of more fossil fuel so that the shorter supply will make the price escalate, which in turn causes people to be more enthusiastic about green energy.

Think About IT: Christian Charity vs. Government Coercion

By Ronnie W. Rogers / September 4, 2012 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Christian Charity vs. Government Coercion
