…nd more risky, even, than the continuing folly of creating a financialized casino economy that remains vulnerable to bubbles and speculation. And here we must acknowledge the extent to which an insane lust for mineral wealth is a Western phenomenon, albeit one that is now fully emulated by the Chinese.

…to his lack of power. He has only run one public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in Atlantic City between 1995 to 2009. Subject to stockholders and a board of directors, Trump was a disaster. His company went bankrupt; his investors lost everything. In Trump’s eyes this was not because of anonymous market forces.

…ances are nil that our government will do anything at all to shut down the casino economy or will even bother to find out who was really to blame for the financial trauma we’ve been living through. The government will certainly not force big banks that took in all of that taxpayer money to do anything to support the real economy or the millions of jobless and downsized workers who are hurting so badly. ‘Labyrinth’ is as good a word as any for our…

…d a significant LDS population, in the 1970s. While his father worked as a casino bartender, young Marco attended church (walking to the chapel when he couldn’t get a ride), memorized Osmonds tunes, and tagged along with his cousins on family vacations to Provo, Utah, where they toured Osmond studios.

…in Taiwan, where the Constitutional Court ruled last month that the civil code restricting marriage to ‘a male and a female’ is unconstitutional. The Court gave legislators two years to amend the Civil Code.

…gn an honor code,” Farris claimed. “[Homosexuals] could not sign our honor code,” Farris said, adding that he considers the actions of gay men and women “sinful.” “Part of the honor code is to be sexually pure,” he added.

…med in Catholic settings. Although Catholic officials expanded an existing code of medical ethics in 1948 to include directives on contraception and abortion, Catholic hospitals didn’t share a unified ethical code until 1971. Reports of hospitals in some dioceses performing abortions and providing contraception to patients led the USCCB to publish a new version of the ERDs and require every diocese to adopt them. This would prevent what Father O’R…
