Essay - Unnatural Law

Here's a recent essay from my daughter. She 'completed' high school earlier this year yet learning continues apace on the Road to 21. This essay reflects upon Arthur Leff's address "Unspeakable Ethics, Unnatural Law".

It’s an age-old issue—the question of fairness. Everyone scolds a cheater and abhors a traitor.

Beck's Rally - Two Kingdoms?

Some Christians who joined in worship with self-proclaimed Mormon Glenn Beck at the recent Restoring Honor rally, claim they were honoring Christ.
