"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every

It was a truly great trip and I feel very refreshed after about 10 hours of sleep. I've got probably 1,400 pictures to go through. Amidst the hundreds of very serious faces I shot over the last two weeks I got one to crack and the progression of it is definitely one of my favorites.

Some things I've noticed over the last 7 months of our new government in Washington. 1. Every presented piece of legislation is essential to our continued existence. 2. Legislation is pushed through congress with very little discussion.3. Important legislation almost appears hidden by the media, behind other 'important' news stories.The third observation to me is currently the most troubling.

The following question was posed to my wife (and fellow students) for discussion in her online Sociology class. I'd very much appreciate your thoughtful comments... I'll be posting mine after I hear from some of you.At a time when Muslim doctors and engineers stand accused of attempting atrocities in the expectation of supernatural reward, when the Catholic Church still preaches the sinfulness

The AP is reporting (msnbcc) that GM is talking about changing it's logo background color from the current blue to green as it steps through it's bankruptcy proceedings (with loads of our dime). I wonder just how much $$$ this stupid move is going to cost. Is it really necessary to put up money (probably in the millions) to make such a pidley change? People briefed on its plans say the company

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures’ God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cause which impel them to the

When we were looking for houses a year or so ago one of the unuttered prayers I had was for a nice area in the back yard to plant a grapevine. While I do like grapes the desire had more to do with the abundant biblical allusions to them than any desire to eat them. When we walked through what would ultimately be the house we purchased I found not only a place to plant a grapevine, but a HUGE

Again a word on 'progressives.' In the last several years the moniker Liberal has been substituted with Progressive. Let's be honest, Progressive just sounds better. Progressive implies advanced, enlightened and broad-minded. Our current administration and congress is dominated by progressives (liberals). Their worldview is certainly different than mine. I'm not a Republican, but I

Earlier this week our president spoke on the economy at George Town University. In his speech he made an interesting reference to the Sermon on the Mount.There is a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells the story of two men. The first built his house on a pile of sand, and it was destroyed as soon as the storm hit. But the second is known as the wise man, for when “…the rain
