Meeting Margaret, Chapter 4
It was a very quiet and small wedding. Lee knew Margie wasn’t used to their country weddings, and the neighbors wouldn’t know what to make of Margie. And so although Margie was married, and officially part of the community, she hardly knew any of the people. “Lee, your mother mentioned that there is an ice cream social in town next week. Will we go?” “Do you want to?” “Yes, I want to meet your neighbors, the people you know. They will be my friends now.” “It is different from what you know.” “Yes, but I can adjust. It will be…

Do Two Evils Make a Good?
I ran across this article tonight. Don’t read it if you don’t have a strong stomach. It is about a newspaper reporter who wanted to see what waterboarding is really like. An excerpt, “The water was now pouring down my nostrils and into my lungs, I was choking and my mind a fog. Like a nightmare you can’t wake up from, the water kept coming.

Lee quickly…
Are Tea Parties Christian?
I’m not sure, here’s an article on it. It is interesting though, because the Tea Party tries to be Christian. They espouse Christian values, pray at the beginning of meetings, etc…and sometimes this makes me wonder. I feel like perhaps they are connecting Christianity with politics too much, like they are the new Israelites or something. On the contrary, at our Mises Circle meetings, I don’t try to make it “Christian only” or anything like that, but curiously, we’ve ended up with attendees who have very similar religious views. I don’t know if that has any significance, just an interesting thought.
