I love to visit England and would be delighted to visit other European countries. However, this fondness for sojourning in Europe in order to drink from the abundant fountains of history is markedly distinct from a desire for the U.S. to become England’s twin. If my recollection of history is correct, there was a time…
Without a doubt, you are familiar with Hitler’s attempt to produce a better race by elimination of those with “inheritable undesirable traits”, which is known as negative eugenics whereas encouraging reproduction by persons with “inheritable desirable traits” is referred to as positive eugenics.

But then Fidelity got wind of his receiving an instant…
Euthanasic death is always promoted as an act of mercy. However, it appears at times to be an act of mercy for someone other than the patient. This was the case with Terri Schiavo, who had to be starved to death in order for her to die; a person who also had family who said…
Ask just about any person living in the U.S. if they are certain about anything, and they will more than likely say, yeah, Global Warming. They know that if scientists say it, well it must be true. Umh! Well, do all scientists agree? Is there a consensus? Is man-made global warming certain? Not according to…

Some Christians–as well as secularists, Muslims, Hindus, etc.–believe that Christians should not celebrate Christmas because the Bible does not command us to celebrate Christ’s birth, it…
