Three Pillars
This post is in response to some thought-provoking questions/comments posted by Mary regarding the translation of “The Three Pillars of Economics” on the Higher Law blog. I’m not trying to speak for the author of the blog, but I think Mary raises some interesting questions and makes some important observations. Since I’m never at a [...]
Samuel and Nephi
Samuel and Nephi
My daily Book of Mormon reading is currently in the book of Helaman. This morning I was effectively slapped in the face by one of the most obvious examples we have in scripture illustrating the difference between prophets who are called and given the gift of prophecy for the delivering of important instructions [...]
Why Not?
I’ve been following a blog called The Higher Law recently. There has been much commentary on it by members of the LDS church regarding the intent of the blog and the movement behind it, and specifically regarding the author. Their contention is that the kind of revelatory direction claimed by the author, if it were [...]
The Challenge
In response to a challenge issued by my friend*, Craig, as part of our extended discussion at conservativefront.com, I’m working on a scientifically reproduceable process that any person can go through to prove that God exists. I guarantee that it works.
I had expected to have it ready by now, but I’ve decided to go big [...]
More Morons
Is it just me, or is the country filling with an ever-increasing supply of morons, most of which are coming from the younger generations?
Case in point, try watcing anything on the ABC Family Channel and take note of the caliber of programming they are featuring. You know, brilliant shows like Greek and The Secret Life [...]
Socialism: The Engine of Economic Entropy
Even by my grossly over-simplified definition, entropy is the measure of the useless energy found in a system, useless energy being energy that is not available for doing work.
One of the great contributions that Newton provided for the world of science–the world in general, really–was the presentation of the Laws of Thermodynamics. The second of [...]
Compelled Compassion
I’m back.
The recent comments by Barack Obama have been sufficient to wake me from a long hibernation in order that I may address the issue of distribution of wealth—i.e. socialism—that he espouses.
Recently I was involved in a conversation with a co-worker who is a legal citizen of America, but is originally from El Salvador. The [...]
More Liberal Consistency
Liberals argue that the second amendment should be done away because it puts too much dangerous power (i.e. firearms) in the hands of the public. In other words, where they normally like to try to pretend that they are the champions of civil liberties and the protection of freedom, even at the expense of safety [...]
The Convenience of Liberal Opinion
In America, liberals complain that civil liberties are being taken away in the name of security, using the oft cited Benjamin Franklin quote, “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Those same liberals, consistent as they always are on the issues, complain that the American [...]
Vote Romney…
Even if for no other reason than this:
“I frankly can’t wait because the idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I can’t imagine.”
(Quoted from the Jan. 25 GOP debate in Florida in response to Tim Russert’s question about how he would approach a campaign against the Clintons, [...]
