What I believe to be the most difficult question in American society and politics will probably not be addressed in the next election.

It’s “Good Friday” - why the crucifixion of somone’s Lord is “good” I don’t know. Talk about some impressive spin. I mean, if it’s “good” to kill a god, wouldn’t it be “better” if he was left alive to do more good deeds? Clearly I have gone down the road of blasphemy. Damn free will, […]
