Further update on Honduras
Here is the latest update on Honduras from the BBC news. Since Sunday, civil liberties have been suspended by presidential proclamation. All “unauthorized” public meetings have been banned. News media can be temporarily closed down by simple presidential order. Two have been already closed, and they were both critical of the “interim” government, Radio Globo […]
On Honduras and right-wing governments
As you know, three months ago, the democratically elected president of Honduras was overthrown in a military coup. Back then cartoons such as the one in this post were widespread among conservatives in the USA. The automatic charge was that Zelaya was a leftist and that President Obama was merely backing a fellow leftist. There […]
Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy
Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representative who work […]
Intersexuals and the Church, part 02
This post will be both the Saturday and Sunday posts. Weekends are always hard for a pastor because of multiple commitments. Let me mention that this post is my own personal opinion.

Unfortunately, most people did not do the research necessary. Glenn Beck did NOT boil a live frog. It was a special effects […]
Intersex medical thoughts
I will tell you right now that it does not matter what I write, there will be a significant number of people upset. As I pointed out, this has become one of the subjects that touches upon the area of sexuality that is such an area of debate in this country. Today, I will write […]
Caster Semenyas and intersex
One of the commenters to my blog on Caster Semenya commented that I should not have used the term hermaphrodite–despite the fact that this was the term used in several newspapers of various stripes–and should have used the term intersex. Needless to say, as with any discussion that involves sex and gender nowadays, this is […]
Some national memories are worth remembering
I am going to take a one day break from talking about marriage because of a memory that struck me. You see, as I am writing this, it has been 10 days since the anniversary of 9/11. But, oddly enough, the memory that came to me was not the memory of the towers. It is […]
