Second thoughts on the Second Amendment

Article Abstract:

The US Supreme Court has been of little help in resolving the 'right to bear arms' controversy; both sides of the gun control debate cite its 1939 'U.S. v. Miller' opinion. The same hostility toward republican central government that motivated the Amendment motivates the anti-gun control movement today.

The latest fashion in irrationality

Article Abstract:

Books about angels and other spiritual topics head bestseller lists. 'The Celestine Prophecy' by James Redfield has been on a New York Times list for more than 100 weeks. Mass-market spirituality books differ in theology but all pander to the reader's vanity to want to be a part of a spiritual elite.
