http://economiacircularverde.com/que-es-la-economia-circular/ USA 2 and Slovenia 2 Who would have thought it? Actually more than one commentator thought that the USA had won the game, except our third goal was taken away from us by the referee. As usual, this will lead to a lot of debates as to whether there ought to be some type of […]
Apology to BP for being tough on them
· by 1 Comment
In an astonishing move, U.S. Representative Joseph Barton of Texas, a Republican, apologized to BP executives for an Obama shake-down, as Barton called it. He criticizes Obama for his actions at yesterday’s meeting with BP in getting billions of dollars in restitution to fix and restore the Gulf of Mexico in regard to the oil […]
Latinos, the Scots, the Welsh, and Braveheart
OK, so I stretched a bit in coming up with the title above, but it helps me to make a point. Recently the following reader comment was made: . . . I oppose Tagalog in Alaska and French in Lousiana and Maine if used for official government purposes. And in New Mexico Spanish language rights […]
Private property and the Roman Catholic Bishop’s immigration statements
Let’s look at another point raised by one of those who commented on immigration as regard the statements of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called Strangers No Longer: #35 says that “all the goods of the earth belong to all the people”. Wow. That eliminates all private property up to and including my […]

On kisses in the Orthodox Church

You kiss when you say goodbye. You kiss during the Kiss of Peace. And, sometimes, for no known reason, you kiss some more. […]
What were the voters thinking?
We have all read news stories where we wonder what people were thinking when . . . . Well, as we all know, the primary races in South Carolina this year were, to put it politely, rather full of garbage. Accusations of racism, claims of sexual relationships, slurs, verbal garbage piled so deep that it […]
Normal versus abnormal? — Weird world we live in
People always seek to justify themselves. It is easier to justify one’s self than it is to admit that one could be wrong. We have been this way since Adam and Eve. The whole description of the confrontation with God in the Garden of Eden begins with a scene of denial and self-justification. But, if […]
