Contrary to popular belief, advocates for free-market capitalism aren’t necessarily for “Big Business.” In fact, that’s seldom the case. Why? Well, usually Big Business is what it is because of government interference in the market.
In modern times, it is extremely effective to edge out competition by forming alliances in the political sphere. And whether we [...]

Even five years after the tragedy, Hurricane Katrina remains fresh on the minds of millions of Americans, particularly those who experienced the devastation firsthand. Nevertheless, despite the constant level of interest, many Americans are largely ignorant to the facts of the event. This hard-hitting documentary by comedian Harry Shearer explodes a number of myths about Katrina and places the blame on layers of government failure and incompetence, from city planners to the Army Corps of Engineers.

I am not a scientist, nor to I pretend to be one online. I recognize that there are millions of educated professionals out there who study this stuff all day, and therefore, I don’t feel comfortable challenging the science of climate change. Nevertheless, because I do have a political science background and a knack for identifying B.S., I feel that I do in fact have a place in the climate change debate. Moreover, my place in the discussion is that point where science meets politics.

In the end, what will Fales’ show achieve for two communities struggling to reconcile? Instead of making a positive difference for the Gay Community, this man’s antics will further energize the LDS opposition to marriage equality here and outside the state of Utah… for many, it’s back to square one.
