Child Care Gets Medieval

Do you just have too many kids on your hands? Well, here is your solution. This is not a fake. http://www.nurserymaid.com/sscribs.htm

When I get it scanned I will show you the older model from 1971 (three cribs high by five cribs long and sold to churches and day care centers).

Schaivo: A reordering of our nations founding principles

You have likely read and hear countless opinions on the fate of Terry Schaivo. I don't have a medical background. I don't have a legal background either. I do have a religous and ethical background, and I have studies some philosophy so I will take my approach at this matter from that direction. What we are seeing is evidence of a shift that took place decades ago, but might not have been detected until now. I know I only caught on to this last week. The Declaration of Independance spoke of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." I have come to believe that the order of these words are at the core of what this latest round in the culture wars is all about. I believe that it was with great intent the life was listed first. If you assume that this is the case, then the primary mission of our government with regard to supporting and promoting these self evident truths is to the defense of life. This is the position taken by President Bush, the Congress of the United States, and the dozen of people who have been arrested trying to give Terry water. If on the other hand you hold the liberty ought to have that primary position, as our courts and the ACLU believes, then the freedom to die prevails over life itself. This is where you find a right to die with dignity. This is where you find room to argue for standards of living as criteria for life itself to continue. This is foreign to many Christians in America, and should be. As Christians we believe that life is not ours to freely do with what we want. Liberty does not have authority over life. Cutlurally however, life is taking a backseat to liberty and likely to the pursuit of happiness as well.
