Scarcity - Is There Ever "Enough"?

Tue Sep 5, 2006 2:09 AM EDT

Thu Feb 23, 2006 1:05 PM EST

What's the difference in that, and our founding fathers rebelling against the British? This question is too oft asked of so many rebellions and revolutions. It seems that any rebellion of any people for any reason garners instant comparison to the American Revolution.

The Lesser of Two Evils

Sat Jan 21, 2006 5:33 PM EST

No one really likes this phrase. It means we are going to have to make a choice that we do not like in favor over a choice we truly disdain. Or at least something like that. It is unfortunate but the world we live in is full of these choices.
