Dear Fellow Readers,

UF seems impressive. But its goal is to brutalize one’s opponent. What is sportsmans-like about it?

Here’s an idea I had, which I haven’t ever seen suggested (hmmm maybe there’s a reason for that…): an amendment to the Constitution along the lines of “Tradition, morality, religion, and the family (etc) are … More ...

A dark day for Canada; the Liberal government’s “same-sex marriage” legislation [url=http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/06/28/samesex050628.html?print]passed in the House of Commons[/url], and will doubtless soon be passed in the Senate, and become law…

My school teaches the poltical spectrum as far left authoritarian, socialist, communist, the far right as fascist & and Capitalist. The middle is democracy.
Well, this seems dumb to me.
