Is it Possible to Appease Evil? by Terry Dashner
Terry Dashner
?Is it possible to Appease evil??
Neville Chamberlain in 1938 tried to appease Hitler, but Hitler would not be appeased. You see, 1938 was a terrible time for Europe. Hitler?s Nazis were running through sovereign nations like a hot knife through butter. England and its European allies were deeply alarmed to say the least, and they hoped to negotiate peace with H ... continue
The Price of Loyalty by Virginia Bola, PsyD
With the recent shakeups in the presidential cabinet, it has frequently been observed that the quality most treasured in the present administration is that of loyalty.
Is that such an admirable quality?
We prize the loyalty of our friends who protect our good name when we are not present. We respect the loyalty of committed couples who stay true to each other no matter the ou ... continue
The Burning Bush by Gary Whittaker
terrorism. The U.S rightly attacked Afghanistan when they refused to give up Bin Laden. For this, I have to trust that the Americans knew what they were doing, since they were involved with setting up Bin Laden and Afghanistan in the first place. That does not, however, give them the right to bite the hand that feeds them.
It is what happens hereafter that should give us all pause ... continue
U.S. vs Militias and Gangs by Ken Slater
The United States is a large modern country with devolving inner cities. There are more than 200 million guns in the possession of Americans. Most violent acts in the States are the result of robberies, domestic disputes and drug-related violence. Terrorist acts, ranging from the killing of abortionist doctors to the bombing of the World Trade Center, are highly publicized but not considere ... continue
Blame It All On Rush Limbaugh. by Larsen Rogers
For over a decade Liberal bashing has increased to such epidemic proportions that is should be considered racist. If the conservatives were criticizing and insulting Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, etc. their would be an outrage.
Well, it?s time to fight back against those evil doers who want to shove their misguided and distorted beliefs down our throats. Feel free to make T-Shirts, ... continue
Polarize This! by Ed Howes
Surely the theme for the recent U.S. elections was polarization versus unity. According to Scripture, ?A double minded man is unstable in all his ways?. A nation of double minded people is unstable in all its ways. A nation where street crime is punished and high crime rewarded. Where corporate drug pushers sell stock, kill millions of people annually (no one knows the actual numbers becaus ... continue
Cycles by Ed Howes
There are few people in this world unaware of cycles. Few escape childhood without observing the cycles of seasons, birth and death, day and night, full moons and new moons, ocean tides. Birthday anniversaries and weekly cycles of seven days. If we suspect that all we know is cyclical and cycles overlap, we suspect rightly. Welcome back to the 1960s. Welcome back to the dawning of the Age o ... continue
Osama Swings Election by Ed Howes
With all the noise about undecided U.S. voters through the Summer of 04, it is safe to assume more than two per cent were undecided a few weeks before the election. Among the decideds, an equal or greater number would have swung their votes at the drop of a hat. Osama came on TV and told them not to support George Bush. So they went to the polls and proved their patriotism, by doing exactly ... continue
Tales Of The Bizarro World by The Indy Voice
It seems to me that at a time like this the CBS news non-story is extremely problematic not to CBS but to all the other news organizations who have been repeatedly failing to do their jobs. Just in case you haven`t heard or don`t know about what has happened at CBS let me explain. A politically motivated gentlemen handed CBS producers a couple of forged documents to REINFORCE a case that th ... continue
The Animal Rights Summit by David Leonhardt
The Animal Rights Summit
By David Leonhardt
Is it just me, or is society becoming increasingly polarized? It seems like for every action there is an equaller and oppositer reaction. For and against war. For or against the environment. For or against the family.
Consider the role animals play in society. No, I am not referring to politicians, TV producers or Janet Jackson. I ... continue

Mortarless Bricks: The Wavering Walls of Globalization by G.Brigaldino
Reflections on Social Organization - Information (i.e. economic or political) and knowledge management skills are essential tools for embarking on and staying on board a course of sustainable development. Today these tools are controlled politically and used strategically by those who have the means and access to the material fruits of globalization, seen as an incoherent and hierarchical f ... continue
Colts? stadium short on horse sense by Kurt St. Angelo
?2005 Libertarian Writers` Bureau
The predominant discussion in the Indianapolis media over the proposed $500 million Colts stadium is how to fund it, not over the wisdom and propriety of taxpayers going into debt to build it.
Apparently the leaders of both major political parties in Indiana have signed off on the concept, including a poor building design, and are content to c ... continue
Bush Victory: A Defeat for the Have-nots? by Virginia Bola, PsyD
The shouting is over and directions for the next four years selected. Judging by past behavior (the best predictor, psychologically, of future behavior), we can look forward to:
1. Continued and probably expanded tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and large Corporations. It is no surprise that the stock market soared on the election news: big business stands to gain greatly by th ... continue
Whose Values Are They Anyway? by Virginia Bola, PsyD
First there was the sight of Janet Jackson`s pastie-adorned breast at the Superbowl, then Nicollet Sheridan`s towel-dropping scene on Monday Night Football. A public outcry followed, deploring the obsessively sexual orientation of advertising, entertainment, and the media as a whole.
As the debates rage, a core question must arise: if sex is known to sell anything, who is doing the b ... continue
Fact to Fiction: The brutal truth about the practice of stoning by Brooke Sikula
?Like humans void of soul or mind, they jeered and yelled as they went about selecting their most jagged stones.? ? David Hearne, excerpt from Hulagu`s Web.
Stoning is a brutal and outdated practice that is kept alive only by Muslims under Sharia rule. Although it has been practiced since biblical times, every other culture has systematically ceased the practice in favor of more huma ... continue

The Glorious Acts of Our Legislature by By Mike Kole
By Mike Kole
Libertarian Writers? Bureau
http://www.writersbureau.org
I always have to remember to take a deep breath when examining the laws being proposed by our grand Legislature. I detest most of the new legislation on the table, but have to forgive our representatives in the House and Senate for it. After all, writing laws is what a Legislature does, and if they do ... continue
How to Tinker With Social Security Correctly by Paul Griffitts
The rhetoric about `tinkering` with Social Security in the name of setting aside some of the contributions to private investments is only a play on people who are under forty to gain their support.
Before I was forty years old I also thought that the six percent taken from me every week was outrageous and should be eliminated, but that was my youth and selfishness speaking. Today a ... continue
Three of President Bush`s failures in his first term by Mike Sylvester
President Bush?s first term is over; we can now look at what he accomplished. A President should be judged on what he promised the voters during his campaign. Voters should compare what he promised, to what he delivered.
Look at some of what President Bush wanted to accomplish in his first term: A better public education system, fiscal responsibility, and less Federal involvement in ... continue
