Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

Planned parenthood is a plague, that politicians believe they can control but which goes and gets everywhere, as any plague, eating of the body that hosts it until it's destroyed and then moves to the next one. University studies to destroy life? Why not then university degrees for hit men? How to make their victims ... and their families to suffer less? ... absurdity 101 and yet, the root of the problem is what needs to be removed otherwise the plague and the task to destroy human dignity will prevail and only grow.

The insistence is that Hugo Chavez 'cannot be a dictator' because he has been 'democratically' elected, but one thing has nothing to do with the other as one defines the means while the other the ends. P&G might not be but just another corporation for whatever reason, 'demonized', yet letting these actions to go 'unnoticed ', only increases the risk for everyone owning a business or even individuals and families, to be intruded by the nanny government for whatever reason they feel does not adjust to their 'morals'. It is up to we, the people, to stand up and clearly tell the government who is to be serving who and for what purpose Wherever we are and whichever country it is, it will always up to the people to show the strength of its resolve to claim the freedom God gave us and that only Him can take away. The good law we have an obligation to obey, the bad law with have the obligation to disobey.

How fundamental is at every situation, not to abandon the truth and love of Christ. Even if appear not so, He is present everywhere and at every moment.

The angles left out on the issue about immigration are skilled immigration and respect for the law. How about expanding the Arizona 'outrage' to actually charge the many businesses as well as homes who take advantage of illegals, under a modality of slavery nobody wants even to explore calling it slavery.  On the other hand, if they feel so compelled to decriminalize illegal immigration, why not just ignore immigration and let any one and everyone in and out as pleased.  The real matter is people using people and thinking closely to the issue, the matter is not really in the illegal, but on what makes people take the tremendous risks involved to go to a foreign country and have to surrender dignity and fortune just to seek better opportunities.  Maybe because there are not opportunities at home, and it is not because of over population, or maybe because the risks are manipulated for political aims.
