John Mark Reynolds [author, academic] says: technology in reality is amazing, but it men are still men.

Is there such a thing as an "it man"?

Is that the guy to come fix your computer?

It must be very popular in England as I just received a package that was covered with Harry Potter stamps.

Any stamp collectors?

First, magic cannot solve real problems....Deep human problems, hatred and pride, cannot be solved by waving a wand anymore than loneliness vanishes when you turn up an Ipod.

Second....a bad start does not have to control a person’s destiny. Finding good mentors really matters.

Third, some people choose to be wicked, enjoy being wicked, and cannot be helped in the end....Some people not only don’t do that, but are happy to be bad. They reject the ethical laws of nature and of Nature’s God and must be opposed with force.

Fourth....not to look to government for solutions to problems and that politicians sometimes like to deny rising evil to put off difficult tasks.

Finally....[grow] up. [Do] not try to stay a boy forever...
