Freedom, now. [Acts 17]

This is taken from the daily fishwrap. The elite in New Zealand are as shocked as the leader of the synagogue. The people may want to be healed. They may want to be free. The young voted for what they know. The older voted for what they had lost: the… Read More

Failing in the Virtue Olympics [Rom 6]

What the left seem do want is chains, and disability. They don't want to be healthy, for it does not fit into queer theory. Now, of course, queer theory is bad for you, and claiming that your sins and weaknesses can just go away is equally bad. We… Read More

Mutterings (Brexit reactions)

Two quotes: one from Charles Stross, who is a tad annoyed that the UK voted to leave the pit of Mordor. Calling two thirds of Englishmen fascist is over egging the pudding somewhat, but... finding this stuff is easy: finding relatively coherent… Read More

The rate of prescriptions is high and steady among children and increasing among adults. The authors summarize… Read More

An offense to this world. [Rom 5]

There is a fair amount of noise, because later today (About 6 PM my time) the polls open for the Referendum as to if the UK should remain part of the European Union. I have never liked the European Union: it destroyed the very nice niche New Zealand… Read More
