- Yes, armed citizens (not police) do sometimes stop mass shootings. There is also, of course, Bastiat's essay, "That Which Is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen" which can be applied to guns as easily as to economics.
- Progressives really make the case that they shouldn't be allowed to ave access to guns.
- College is not for everyone. And, it is certainly not good for everyone to go to college, as there are now 6 million more college graduates (bachelor's degrees only) than jobs available for them.
- On a related pair of notes, a lot of Catholic universities don't even provide the benefit of a good Catholic education (we knew that already). This means that Catholic University graduates simply pay more money to not have a job available to them upon graduation, and also to have an institution which they (or their parents) trusted to help strengthen their faith instead strip them of it.
- On another related note, pertaining specifically to virtue, here is a nice comparison of the "virtues" of Pajama Boy/The Modern "Man," of a Roman Patrician, and of a Christian Gentleman. Also, a good fisking from which this comparison was derived.
- Blessed Mother Teresa would be unimpressed by our current "pastoral" approach to sin (which is also a retreat from holiness).
- Our "daily" bread?
- A related note regarding Kim Davis.
- The secret to success without hard work.
We may be pessimists, but we are prepared to give an account of our hope. We may be skeptics, but we are ever faithful. We may look down with sorrow on the human condition--but this sorrow begets charity. We are heralds of the dusk, but like watchmen we await the new dawn.
Contra Mozilla
[close]
Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced its CEO to resign because he had, 6 years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their Liberal/progressive view of politics. To read more please visit WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. We aren't blocking Firefox, but we feel it is important to let you know what's going on. For those who are curious, the reason why we are not blocking firefox is that the script to do so also blocks a variety of firefox alternatives, such as IceDragon and others which are similar to firefox and based on the same open-source code. We do think it is important to push back on this issue: for starters, you can leave firefox a comment here. You can also switch to another browser: here are six more free browsers (besides IceDragon) which are supposed to be similar to FireFox (because they are based on the same open-source code) but which are not otherwise affiliated with Mozilla.

I have a lot of open tabs in my browser, and not much time to discuss them right now.
