The idiotic case of Jerry Rabinowitz suing Palm Beach County because same had the bad taste to use Emmanuel Catholic Church as a polling place is another example of a hypersensitive humanist forcing the waste of tax dollars to make him feel better about his convictions (or lack of them.) Churches (and synagogues and mosques …

The Problem of Wage Compression
The decision by the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, to stick with a 3% across the board pay increase for city employees as opposed to a $1.00/hour one was a sensible one. But it brings up an issue common in labour relations, namely that of wage compression. A quick summary of the facts: the Mayor had …
It’s Not about Sex
Just up the road from here, an Episcopal "priest" (I hate that term for Anglican ministers) tell us us about why It's Not about Sex: I believe the archbishop's essay underscores what really is going on within the Anglican Communion and beyond.

Maybe It’s Time to Emigrate
Lydia Playfoot's loss of her legal action to wear a chastity ring brings to mind two previous posts: Liberals and Sex Go Together (her opponents) What They Really Don’t Like is the Chastity.
