The New Age of Global Conformism

Post by Bruce W. Davidson  

At a formal ceremony for retiring professors at my university, each retiree got an opportunity to make a short speech.

Saving the Unborn. Their Lives Matter. [1]

Recently, I came across this photo shared on twitter. It is the image of a 13-week old baby. That’s 13 weeks from conception.

Jessica O’Donnell, the poster, wrote:

I debated posting this picture of our 13 week-old daughter, Winter. It’s difficult to see her in this stage because her life ended before it began. But I think it’s incredibly important that people understand that ~little bump~ in your belly is a precious little human.

Annoying Signs Around Australian Icons

Post by Richard Kelly

From there some of us have gone on to study the subject at university level, or read books and watched films based on historical events. But is all that we have read and learnt based on facts, or on the perceptions and the bias of the recorders who were on the victorious side of the events and battles?
