More rightwing internet futurology
In the ’60s we had the “television generation,” the first generation to grow up watching TV. Today we have the “Internet generation.” The change in ways of finding out about the world ought to mean something, even though the effects are diffuse and so hard to interpret.

Natural functions and marriage
Over at MarriageDebate.com Maggie Gallagher has been dealing with one of the standard arguments for “gay marriage,” that there can’t be an essential connection between marriage and procreation because after all 70-year-old women are allowed to marry even though they can’t have babies.

Gloom, doom and the FCC
Here’s a claim that 99.8 percent of FCC indecency complaints were filed by a single activist group. The facts seem a little confused, but the evident general inactivity on the conservative side of the issue is the sort of thing the “conservative trend” in American life amounts to.

Christian Failure?
A simple question: how many professed christians will give the monies allocated for ‘xmas’ pleasure and presents to the poor this xmas? Give and not question the giving(no rationalisation about what I have earned is mine). The answer is 0.
