Critically Thinking about Pain — Is Pain a Good or Bad Thing?
By John Droz, Jr. Pain is a strange thing. One of the most insightful things I’ve read about pain is that it is an essential element of making us happy! (e.g., read this interesting article.)

Mann vs Science: Science Wins! — a.k.a. Mann v Steyn, et. al.
By John Droz, Jr. The public perception is that Dr. Michael Mann has become the standard bearer of climate change.

Without God, There is No TRUE Respect for Human Life
By Selwyn Duke Since my title is bound to inspire criticism that I’m a “God botherer,” I’ll preface what follows by stating that I wasn’t always the halo-adorned, floating-in-the-ether desert mystic (without the sand or heat) you behold today.
