		I no longer watch corporate media news, but I was informed about some talking heads out there claiming Haiti is getting what they deserved.  That is why I don&#8217;t watch corporate media news.  I don&#8217;t care if those pundits came from one of the most respected think tanks, those are the most dangerous ones for [...]]]></description>

		&#8220;On Faith and the Founding&#8221; is a tricky chapter to deconstruct in Liberty and Tyranny.  Without an understanding of Christian faith one is likely to be overwhelmed by Levin&#8217;s rhetoric in support of religious liberty.  Christianity marks a dramatic turning point in monotheism.  Before Christ, God had a chosen people based on culture and lineage.  [...]]]></description>

		I am not finished with revamping my web log for the post publishing phase of  Systems out of Balance, yet I can&#8217;t resist tackling what I consider the most fundamental question we have to address for determining how our economic, political and cultural systems should function:  Are we naturally bad?

The Washington Post endorsed the invasion of Iraq and generally provided supportive coverage during the first months of the war.  However, they provided one type of coverage that went beyond the [...]]]></description>

		This entry continues on with the theme of memorializing soldiers.  I mentioned in the first entry that there was an oddity in how we perceive soldiers and how we memorialize them.  This entry concentrates of the perception of soldiers.
Much of what I have to say in this entry is recorded in &#8220;Essay 13 &#8211; Conventional [...]]]></description>

		Every year our town holds a parade on Memorial Day.  Every year the local school bands march and play.  Every year a roll call is presented of soldiers fallen in battle or otherwise passed away.  In recent years a vet who has been to Iraq gives the speech.
Something happened a little differently this year that [...]]]></description>
