I’ve always maintained that there is an agenda behind the media establishment’s mocking and opposing faith, religion, family, and culture – that being the lacking created by promiscuous sex, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and other superficial phenomenon creates psychological voids in one’s life, which can be temporarily “fixed” by buying the products in the [...]

Why did it have to change into this? Everyone hates when you’re forced to change plans, but drastic shifts in society which work against you, which you try and fight for the next 5 or so years, watching yourself fail over and over again and praying for something to change. They say they are happier, [...]

Life Magazine has a photo gallery of "30 Dumb Inventions from the Mid-1900s" (wow) Some, like the Baby Cage and the Dog Restrainer, were just tasteless. Others, like the Goodyear Illuminated Tires and the Flying Platform, I thought were pretty cool. The Finnish Portable Sauna looks like a predecessor to the modern Snuggie. A predecessor [...]
