Don't let your children be victims of the ''Culture of Sheep''

12:10am Tuesday, May 22, 2007

By Tim Inwood Earlier in May I recounted a story from my youth in “Time for the sun to set on the Culture of Sheep” , where I complained of having been punished for defending myself. When it comes to the “Culture of Sheep”, I had barely scratched the surface in my disdain for what it has done to my country. My desire to examine and discuss how to undermine this national disease of indoctrinated...

12:05am Tuesday, May 22, 2007

12:10am Monday, May 21, 2007

Which came first - the gun violence or the gun control?

12:10am Friday, May 18, 2007

It wasn't quite at the level of Toledo Blade editorial board member Dan Simpson's tirade against the Constitution , but an April 30 editorial by Springfield (OH) News Sun editorial page editor Tom Hawkins entitled "More guns not the answer to violence" got pretty close . I don't want to take away your deer rifle, your shotgun or even your .357, but I do want to take away a silly argument the far-...
