Back in 2005, I wrote a post about the abandonment of Terri Shiavo, prompted by a column by Mark Steyn. I was fixing a couple of broken links on the post and I thought it deserved fresh light. So, here you have it. Click here to go to the post.

Work and It’s Changing Nature
by William Meisheid
I have recently read two articles that look at the changing nature of work/value creation and while coming from a different perspective, arrive at similar constructs, though this may not be obvious at first glance. The first article (The Old Model of Work is Broken by Charles Smith | Of Two Minds) approaches the issue…

Food: Our Continuing Sustenance
by William Meisheid
We need food. There is a maxim in certain nutritional circles that you are what you eat, or at least the health of your body is determined by what you eat. One of the big problems with disasters, especially ones that extend into several months is having or getting decent food, especially if you are…

The God with No Name
by William Meisheid
One of the objections that the early Hebrews faced (e.g., from the Egyptians) was that their God had no name. The ancient mind could not conceive of a nameless god. Names were significant; they helped define one’s god and expressed their character and areas of power. It is interesting to note God’s response to Moses…

The Social Justice Con
by William Meisheid
Question: Why do those who howl for social justice exhibit little if any social responsibility? Could it be that the call for “social justice” for those individuals is really a dodge to fool the masses into accepting that they really believe what they are saying to hide that they are just using the situation for…
