…pointed out earlier this year, Israel HaYom’s competitive tactics—offering free papers and slashing ad costs—have undercut two of Israel’s moderate newspapers.

It makes sense because we all agree that the money doesn’t “belong” to the grandson.   For Locke, however, God gave the world to us in common, and we appropriate a part of it to ourselves for private use through our labor.

…under the First Amendment. We think it’s time for us all to seek religious freedom for reproductive freedom, and to recognize that persistent efforts to interfere in reproductive decisions is “an infringement of a natural right” in the sense the Virginia Statute warned.

How Will We Teach About Sikhism After the Tragedy?

…in religious and educational approaches to the world. Long-term alliances between religious institutions, and the mutual engagement between different forms of expertise, are essential to this paradigm.
