(Before reading this I guess I should put a disclaimer on it saying that intentionally swore a lot so that I could use the star mark * on my computer to parody the editorial piece in question.)
So I’ve been following the saga of David McSwane the editor of the Colorado State student newspaper. Now I graduated from [...]

Lately I feel like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. I go through this periodically but lately it seems to happen more than it used to. I wonder if it’s because of where I am or maybe the only reason I’m in the round hole is because of where I have [...]
Lets bring back local currency.

I found this article from the E.F. Schumacher society about a local currency that was issued in lower Massachusetts in 2006. I was not aware that local currency was still legal but I agree with the thought that it protects the local economy. Well read it and give me your thoughts.
BerkShares (www.berkshares.org) are a local [...]

I keep finding Christian leaders who seem to stand oppossed to the way we have constructed the economy.

Pius XI

I have a friend who asked a tough question last night.
