In response to Cold Weather vs. Hot Weather
by Adrienne Amos
This is an easy debate for me. I am a “sun worshipper” from way back. Born and raised in Michigan, I thrived on the summers, but didn’t really realize how much I disliked the winters until I moved to Texas. What a wonderful feeling to be […]
In response to Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama
In the beginning of the race for the Democratic nomination, it seemed most likely that either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would win. And I feared that whichever one prevailed would pick the other as a running mate. Not because I think that’s a bad idea for the […]
Peace on earth. World peace. Those phrases have been used so often they’ve become part of the popular lexicon. Everyone claims to want world peace, and while it sounds nice in a Miss America speech or a Christmas carol, it would be just as practical to wish for magical unicorns or trees that really do […]

I’m not a wearer of fur myself, but that’s not because of any great cause; it’s just not my style. (I don’t hunger after diamonds either—to me they are only white rocks—give me rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. They have color and character.) However, I do believe that if you want real fur and […]
In response to War vs. Peace
by Stefan Raets
There are two types of people in this world: those who have experienced war firsthand, maybe by living through it or losing a loved one, and those who still believe that war is a necessary aspect of life. I don’t believe it is possible to continue living under […]
In response to 2008 vs. 1908
My grandmother used to wax nostalgic about ‘the good old days, way back when’, which seemed to me to encompass any time period before the Vietnam War. When I was a kid, I never quite understood what she meant. I couldn’t figure out what was so good about the years […]
In response to War vs. Peace
by Jenni Robison
God bless us all. We could use the blessing; we are mere mortals. We are not gods, we are not angels. We are simply humans, fallible and imperfect. And as humans we undeniably strive for peace–yet end up in war.
Peace is a beautiful concept, and several definitions exist. […]
In response to Religion vs. Faith
By Adrienne Amos
I believe in God. I believe in the Holy Trinity of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost). I believe in the rightness of the Bible as the Word of God. I believe in Heaven and Hell. I believe that Satan is a fallen angel who was […]
In response to War vs. Peace
By Adrienne Amos
War is inevitable and necessary for the world as we know it. It’s a cleansing process for the human race. Few want it (or so they say), but the alternative in most cases is a life under tyranny lived in constant fear. That is often a case the […]
In response to Reality TV vs. Sitcoms
by Jenni Robison
Ahhhh, TV. There’s nothing like turning on the box and receiving instant gratification and emotional involvement. What a great way to spend a couple hours during my evening! There is just so much on TV today, you have to be a really boring person not to find something that suits you.
I like sitcoms; […]
