What is the worth of a single life? If one can believe the socialization from the visual arts and literature, a human life is priceless. However, in actual practice a human life is worth less than the life of a bird! Continue reading “How Much is a Human Life Worth?”
If nothing else is learned from the current presidential election campaign, Americans should learn that saying something is true, does NOT make it true! Both of the major candidates put forth plans pandering to their particular power bases. Continue reading “Plans of Man vs Purpose of God”
I saw “Hillary’s America” and found what I expected to find, some good history, some ignored history and a rousing ending that brought a tear to everyone’s eye; in short, a religious propaganda film. Continue reading “America’s Religious Failure of Faith”
