ABC News has recently posted 2 videos describing changing weather patterns. One posted 1 June describes a “’Big Worry’ for Hurricane Season”. While there is an average number of hurricanes expected this season, hurricanes are popping up much closer to the shoreline. This gives little warning when they develop, so…
I guess it’s no wonder that so many in this country homeschool. The American Family Association (AFA) issued a recent alert that “Ohio’s H.B. 176 threatens our most basic freedoms” raised one of my eyebrows. Considering some of their previous alarmist claims, I decided to look into it a little…

The idea that a country would have no official religion was a very progressive one in the 1700s. What we find, though, is that it is a anomaly today as well. There is a religion that denies its own existence (sound like the tactics of anyone we might know?). It…
