A Few Pertinent Links

An interview with Mark Steyn

Steyn discusses a number of issues, but of interest is this on religion:

"So the dynamism of American faith exemplifies the virtues of the broader society: the US has a free market in religion, Europe had cosseted overregulated monopolies and cartels. The other salient point is that obviously Europe does have a religion: radical secularism. The era of the state church has been replaced by an age in which the state itself is the church. European progressives still don't get this: they think the idea of a religion telling you how to live your life is primitive, but the government regulating every aspect of it is somehow advanced and enlightened."

Don't believe the childhood vaccine fearmongers

This story has been around a few years, but Michael Fumento article sums the issue up nicely. Self appointed scare mongering ninnies are telling people not to get their children vaccinated. Don't listen.

On a lighter note:

Garrison Keillor is a new columnist at Jewish World Review. Entertaining as ever, he manages to mention corn in his article. Important stuff, corn. No, seriously. :-)
