Can Americans afford cap and trade?
Do you know of anyone who doesn’t believe in protecting the environment? If you can find someone who really believes it is okay to treat the Earth any old way, you will have found someone who is very lacking in their knowledge about the world in which we live. When I was a young boy, I thought nothing about some of the things I did, such as throwing glass bottles in my father’s stock pond (actually a small lake) and shooting them up with a .22 revolver.

This plea agreement resulted in a one-year sentence and came [...]

That brings the official total to 17 causalities, with [...]

Iranian protests continue The Iranian people are continuing their protests against the government and the results from Saturday’s election. For all intents and purposes, current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dismissed the protests, calling them nothing more than “passions after a soccer match”, but it appears they could grow into something more. Several prominent reformists, including some former government [...]

Not all pro-lifers are guilty of George Tiller’s murder I have refrained so far from writing about the murder of George Tiller on Sunday, believing there is already enough uproar about this act of violence. My first thought when I heard about the murder was that no human being deserves to be shot down like that. My second thought was about how much damage [...]
