Too bad you don't still have that empire of far flung colonies to which you could export your waste people. Now you're stuck with "The wretched refuse...

Maybe "political correctness" is the secular equivalent of "cheap grace". Cheap grace doesn't cost anything. It's available to anyone who cares to lea...

Right, I totally agree with your statement here. But this, "The whole Sermon on Mount is best interpreted as a stand-up routine", doesn't mesh very we...

People are, indeed, entitled to use entitlements, or benefit from benefit programs if they need them. Lots of conservative Americans (Hanover is getti...

What's that song, "We all need some body to lean on"? If finding affordable housing was such a no-brainer, your approach might make some sense. Your c...

Good luck. Have you considered lowering housing costs by pooling resources with compatible people? It's definitely not everybody's nice cuppa tea, but...

You are right: There is no satisfactory solution within our "economic and social structure" as it has existed, and is likely to continue to exist. Mos...

Be careful, there. I can just see your little corner of paradise being over-run and ruined by a plague of tourists, developers, builders, summer peopl...
