But you'd better be sure which train you get on;
because you can't get off 'til it's over.

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed.
-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, page 413

Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
-The Bible.
[And, I believe it.]

This is an archive.
People wishing to talk about issues should go to boards that are meant for that purpose. That is not this board's purpose.
The reason that I am vigilant about this is that writers need to quickly and efficiently locate material for their articles. This board should be considered a reference source, not a place for conversation.
It has been brought to my attention that articles would be easier to find if the first words of the post were the TITLE of the article. I found many an article through the title. An Example:
Obama is missing the point (again)
Illyia (the author)
Illyia's Heart, SI (publication that is linked to)
9-9-2009( date).
AND THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM.
