Ideas have consequences
An illuminating passage from an interview with Peter Schweizer on National Review Online. Schweizer is the author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy: …the consequences of liberal hypocrisy are different than for the conservative variety. When conservatives abandon their principles and e hypocrites, they end up hurting themselves and their families. Conservative principles are like guard rails on a winding road. They are irritating but fundamentally good for you. Liberal hypocrisy is the...
Mr. Barroso’s wake-up call
Jose Manuel Barroso, the President of the European Commission, is calling on all “civilized and rational” people bat anti-trade populism of the sort that is designed to whip up fear and protectionism. In an interview with The Times (London), Barroso issued what he called a wake-up call: “If the signal we give to our children is ‘Protect yourself — hide under the table because there is globalisation, resist it’ — then we are nothing.” This week, European leaders are headed...
War and religion
“I don’t think many of the conflicts I’ve covered were really about religion. It’s about territory. It’s about power. It’s about other things. It’s just broken down along religious lines.” James Nachtwey, war photographer, 56, New York City (Interviewed by Cal Fussman, Esquire, Oct 01 ’05) ...
Calvin and Hobbes draw the line
In case you missed it, the Washington Post did a fun review of the new three-volume art book on the Calvin and ic strip. For a parent who raised two daughters during the strip’s 10-year run from 1985 to 1995, it’s refreshing to learn that creator Bill Watterson rejected all attempts at mercializing the adventures and musings of the young boy and his stuffed tiger. It seems that every children’s flick and television series of the Calvin and Hobbes era...
British ingenuity
Interesting news from across the pond today. Our British friends seem to be making education a bit more ‘user friendly’. Education Secretary Ruth Kelly is proposing a system where “parents dissatisfied with local schools will be encouraged to set up their own…’The underlying principle is simple – freedom for schools and power for parents,’ said the education secretary.” The Acton Institute has long promoted the idea that the primary responsibility for a child’s education lies with the parents. The recent...
SHAFTA?
Last night, at Acton’s 15 Year Dinner in Grand Rapids, former president of El Salvador Francisco Flores gave a reason for his country’s great economic success: it stopped blaming others. Compare this with another statement yesterday by another politician, Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm. In a bid to the federal government to help the ailing Michigan manufacturing industry, she said (among other things) that “a crisis is upon us and the Federal Government needs to step up and do its share”...

‘The Dignity of the Human Form’
Spurred on by the specter of miraculous cures to horrible diseases, Irving Weissman, director of Stanford’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, is working on bining human brains and mice. The Stanford Daily reports that Dr. Weissman “has worked with the transfer of human neurons to the brains of mice for several years now. He has already bred mice whose brains posed of 1 percent human neurons, finding that transplanted human brain cells could successfully connect to a...
The priority of the eternal over the temporal
The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. —James 1:9–11 (NIV) Before I look at the exposition...
iBelieve in iPod
Apparently, the religion of iPod is the fastest growing religion in the world. And now, you can even buy the “divine iBelieve” cap for your iPod shuffle, to let others know of mitments to your religion and music. But now bring me a man who plays music. And when the man played music the groove came upon them. ~ 2 Jobs 3:15 es up with this stuff, I don’t know. I can just see it now, though – walking into...
