  • Celebrating Holidays: Yay or Nay?

    Do you agree or disagree with Durbin? I agree with him. I don’t believe the regulative principle should be applied to ALL areas of life.

  • Dawn of the Nuclear Age

    Was the use of atomic bombs (the first use of nuclear weapons in history) on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki justified? The Japanese were at that time fiercely devoted to Emperor Hirohito, who they regarded as divine. Fighting at Okinawa and elsewhere showed the Japanese forces were fanatical and would fight tenaciously to…
