The Diamond Anniversary of Dehumanization
 Bruce Walker (01/03/09)
Seventy-five years ago, on January 1, 1934, one of the most insidious laws in human history came into effect in Nazi Germany. The innocent sounding name was The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring. It was the ghastly pinnacle of an unholy theory of human eugenics. Darwinism - not the Theory of Evolution, per se, but the sinister notion that natural selection made God superfluous - liberated man from his obligation to treat fellow men as special creatures in a divinely ordered universe.

New Year's Day: Taking Personal Stock
J. Grant Swank Jr. (12/31/08)
New Year's Day is an opportune moment in time to contemplate timelessness - eternity - and one's personal place therein. In other words, it is the change-of-years time to take stock of one's "place in the sun." In doing so, hopefully the believer comes to realize the underlying baseline of utter humility before the Ultimate One.

Guest Author: Steve Selengut (12/29/08)
Most people enter the investment process tip first.

Technological Parking Meters Manifest Statist Mindset
Frederick Meekins (12/25/08)
One of the simple delights in the age of vehicular travel is coming across an empty parking space that still has time on the meter. Since the beast --- namely the municipalities obtaining revenue from the meter --- is still getting the amount of money it is due whether the spot is occupied by one or two cars in the purchased amount of time, one would think the taxmasters wouldn't care and simply let the lucky motorist enjoy one of the few pleasures remaining in our increasingly bleak and overcontrolled world.
