Fr. Glenn: ‘Too Many Rules’

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

You know … I like going fast. I miss driving on I-10 in west Texas where there’s an 85 MPH speed limit, so I think I’ll start doing that on the local interstates and roads … and maybe some residential areas. Oooo … and slalom in and out between cars! That’s fun!! I just don’t like traffic rules; they restrict what I want!

Well, obviously such a program of behavior will sooner or later inevitably end in traffic citations at best, destroyed lives and property at worst. Thus … traffic laws.

One of the common reasons given for giving up the Catholic faith in particular, or the Christian faith Read More

Kyrala: Response To ‘Appeal For Legitimate Art In Art Tunnel’

By GEORGE KYRALA 
Los Alamos

I am very upset by Rabbi Shlachter’s mail to the Los Alamos Daily Post (link), it is reprehensible and hurts many feelings beyond misstating some facts.

The comment and feeling expressed by a Rabbi “to erase expressions from some people’s comments and aspirations on the underpass tunnel” is racist. Erasing people and their feeling just because you feel “repugnant” to an idea that expresses freedom for an abused nation is so undemocratic, uncivilized, unbecoming, and inhumane. That feeling may reflect, and may explain, the total abuse that is been inflicted on Read More
