Rotify & Your Kid’s Immortal Soul
Not the Right Sort of Change
“In the name of advancing the position of women, she discovers that what this approach to education actually does is degrade women into something else. A first-rate woman is transformed into a third-rate man. She is hard, brittle, touchy, and most miserable.”

Seeing From Afar
“Has any mortal seen Heaven? Well, actually, all of us have seen the outskirts. If you ask a typical modern if he has ever seen an angel, you will likely get laughed at.

An Election With More Rigging Than a Five-Masted Clipper Ship
Introduction I have written on this topic before, but the need continues. This is because presidential elections are not one-off historical events, like the Norman Conquest or the invention of the printing press.
