Celebrating Propaganda

Victory Soap: Et tu, quoque?
-shows just how much fun the media politico game of propaganda-making is!

If Wishes Were Horses…

January 31st, 2005 · Comments Off · Contemporaries, fragments

After dealing with some of the homosexuality controversy, and other things (there are always “other things’), I am in a wishful mode. I wish all the problems would just go away. We are all like that to some degree. But problems make their appearance for a reason, usually because of something that either should [...]

Lies I Was Told

January 20th, 2005 · Comments Off · Church, Commentary, Culture, facts-of-life

In the discussion on parenting styles, Mommy Wars (working moms vs. SAHM), twixter woes, and related topics, I thought I would list some of the lies I was told in my own generation ( tail-end of babyboomer). They went like this:
