By Paul Wallace

…nd Eve had not been actual people. It was a real breakthrough for me. I was 13 or 14. What caused my revelation? It was natural history.

By Joseph Laycock

…warns that, “Armageddon can be prevented.” Whoever planned the monument in 1979 most likely imagined that Armageddon would take the form of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. “R.C. Christian” could not possibly have predicted the events referenced by the vandals, such as the attacks of September 11 or the election of Barack Obama. But Dice, and others like him, read the Guidestones much as they read the Book of Revelation: not as historical artif…

…by the forceful introduction of those Eurocentric believes as early as the 15th century. Those days are gone Mr. Speaker, the pastor’s utterances are obvious signs of the time; if you can’t respect a great people in culture and country then there are daily flights out of Belize on a regular basis. We are a people of faith, courage and resilience and we normally say in Garifuna god in front of us and we follow.” Stirm, an anti-gay activist from Te…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…the first quarter of 2015, over 24% of LGBQ Hoosiers reported that they had 14 or more “unhealthy days” each month. By the end of the year, that number had jumped to nearly 60%.

…aseline, and then the wealthiest people with the highest net worth would be 10, 15, 25 times—whatever the economist figured out was best, not the thousand-fold or ten thousand-fold difference that we have now.

There are just a few hunter-gatherer societies that have managed to survive on the fringes, and not much more. Exactly. They are poor surroga…

Why David Brooks Doesn’t Get the Outrage Over AIG

We could do worse than break down the current cast of characters based on that question and that approach. Greenspan was a number cruncher, Brooks observed, and unfortunately for him, human psychology caught up with him in the “housing bubble.” The current debate over Timothy Geithner is being conducted in similar terms. No one d…
