The New York Times Book Review pp. 1, 40-41 As if being 1984 weren't enough, it's also the 25th anniversary this year of C. P. Snow's famous Rede lecture, "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution," notable for its warning that intellectual life in the West was becoming polarized into "literary" and "scientific" factions, each doomed not to understand or appreciate the other. The lecture was originally meant to address such matters as curriculum reform in the age of Sputnik and the role of technology in the development of what would soon be known as the third world. But ...

The state of Vermont's Department of Education is trying to cut a deal with Karen Maple, the homeschooling mom who spent 14 days in jail back in September. The state refers to it as a 'global settlement' which basically means they're trying to climb out of the hole they dug for themselves when they denied Karen her constitutional and God-given rights as a U.S. citizen and mother. The state of Vermont is still holding Karen's son and her rights for ransom. If this is the case Karen shouldn't settle for anything less than $500,000.00 for damages (including false imprisonment), PLUS ...

Following are excerpts for free fair discussion. The entire editorial  is available for free public viewing at the New York Times  here . December 5, 1999             Saying No to W.T.O.           By MICHAEL KAZIN                The protests against the World Trade Organization in                Seattle last week may seem like a postmodern update           of the 1960's. "Whose streets? Our streets" was the chant as           young demonstrators dared the flak-jacketed police to drag           them away. But the antic style of the loose coalition of           environmentalists, unionists and others obscures an earlier           and more ...

A FOREIGNER in the United States who was following such disparate events as recent school shootings and New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's feud with the Brooklyn Museum of Art might be excused for failing to understand that the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution are part of the same Bill of Rights. The problem is not that people disagree over the meaning of the two amendments. The problem is that many influential Americans, including no small number of politicians and members of the media, apply wildly different standards in interpreting the two amendments. The individuals in question interpret ...

Well, the Congressional Budget Office report is out on the new spending package Clinton just signed, and once again, you all got robbed. Despite election year rhetoric about protecting Social Security and balancing the budget, once again the White House dipped into the Social Security trust funds set aside for the retirement of the baby boomers in order to pay for their social programs right now. Current estimates are that the Baby Boomers will receive back about 9 cents for every dollar paid into Social Security. At the rate the fund is being looted, it will probably be worse ...

Commenting on the unfortunate revelations concerning former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's personal life, Dreher recalls the days when Newt was first sworn in as Speaker. "Washington was a sweet place for conservatives in the first days of the 104th Congress. I remember taunting my Capitol Hill housemates, all Democrats, by uttering the words 'Speaker Gingrich' as often as I could," said Dreher. "One day a housemate who worked ...

If they get our guns, the 1st Amendment will go away FAST! The NWO doesn't take kindly to Christianity. So, after the gun police go door to door, the next sweep will be to eliminate Bibles.

In his latest bulletin, Tom Lantos (D)Ca. 12th says "Longtime opponents of effective gun control have used every conceivable excuse in the book to prevent the enactment of legislation tightening our nation's gun control laws. I urge them to stop these irresponsible and dangerous political games. The lives of innocent Americans are at stake - from children in our schools to older Americans, who daily become victims of a mindless culture of guns and violence."
