  • Government Counsel: Build Nest Eggs for Retirement  By : Lala C. Ballatan
    It is an unfortunate fact, but not a generalization, that Americans have very short attention spans.

  • A Gender Sensitive Social Security Program  By : Atty. Gabriel Cosh
    Our laws have always been couched in the neutral sense that is, it is applicable to all regardless of your status in life, your age, your race, and even your gender. It is so neutral in fact that no one is considered to be above the law, and that any acts running counter to it are punishable with a corresponding penalty, which may even include imprisonment.
  • Disobeying natural law  By :
    Freedom is a Western concept. Freedom of expression, association, economic choice, and freedom from arbitrary rule and violence is essential. Part of the greatness of civilization is the containment of uncivilized behavior and instincts. Culture, guilt, shame, quality, expectations – all these and more play decisive roles in shaping behavior. Natural law, which few discuss and fewer know about, is a key basis for Western civilization. Yet the media; the elite; the educational experts [an ironic oxymoron there]; and even the church and most parents have no idea what this important concept means. Hence the rise of everything from gay sex in public, to Britney Spears kissing Madonna on stage, to the decline of real ‘Conservatism’ in public affairs. Ignoring natural law and high standards leads to social degeneration.

  • The low culture of homosexuality and social deviancy  By :
    There are many good reasons to oppose the glorification of homosexuality in society. This does not mean that those who do are racists [like Muslims gays are not a race]; full of bigotry, or are rushing out to the nearest gay bar with a baseball bat. Anyone who says they dislike homosexuality and gays is set upon like unarmed Christians in the Roman Coliseum circa 70 AD. How juvenile and how immature. Sound reasons exist to resist the march to acclaim homosexuality as respectable and normal. It is only a politically immature and intolerant society that refuses to hear the dissenters.
