The Wash Post throws gasoline on the nearly extinguished flame of anti-Mormonism in Arkansas

A Washington Post writer visits the exotic land of Arkansas (I can just hear the editor making hick jokes) and reports that there are a lot of evangelicals there and some of them really hate Mormons. It is in Arkansas, you see, where the descendents of many of the families killed in the Mountain Mea

Just and unjust societies in the Book of Mosiah

The people described in the book of Mosiah in the Book of Mormon are constantly on the move, and as they move around they repeatedly set up new societies.

In Tribute of Heavenly Mother

Flowers blooming and grass turning green is once more a reminder that the season of Mother’s Day has arrived. Men will sing to the women in their lives and children hand out small gifts in token of those who gave them life. It would seem remiss to forget the unique Mormon teaching of a Heavenly [...

Prediction: America will elect a Mormon president in 2012

Mitt Romney is not my favorite candidate. I find his foreign policy dangerous and foolhardy from a financial perspective. I think his budget proposals do not provide the budget cuts we need. I am a Ron Paul supporter. But discussing the future is always fun, and I think Mitt Romney will win in 2012,

End of USA coal burning plants

Note the Scientific American article stating that regulations from EPA will effectively end the development of new coal-fired plants and eventually force current ones out of business.  Hey, we can replace them with cheap oil, right?  I mean, coal only manages 23% of our nation’s fuel/energy.
