Local business and church ‘soil’ the Ephrata linear park rail trail

7 October 2010 American Culture

I can’t recall how long the Ephrata Linear Park rail trail has been open. However, I’ve been walking it nearly every day since it’s been open. Many other people make use of it for everything from a casual walk with their dog to more serious exercise. It’s a fine and beautiful addition to our town. However, I have noticed that often, particularly after rain storms, that sections of the trail are muddied by the run off from neighboring properties.

29 September 2010 American Culture

The Ephrata (PA) School District Board is up to its old tricks again, insulting taxpayers again by liberally doling out money whenever possible. Without being on the agenda or allowing for public discussion, these crazy money spending custodians of our children’s future lavished a 3.7% raise upon the District Superintendent Gerald Rosati. In the midst [...]

President Obama reveals a more personal explanation of his Christian faith; but what did he really say?

28 September 2010 American Culture

Today, in response to a question, President Obama spoke more directly about his Christian faith. But what did he say? How do we interpret this? Is the the Biblical evangelical (gospel-centered) definition of the Christian faith, of what it means to have faith in Jesus Christ. I wonder. Here’s the text culled from the Washington [...]

Melechesh’s Mesopotamian metal on Epigenesis will have you thinking differently about black metal

27 September 2010 American Culture

Melechesh, and its founder guitarist Ashmedi, have several ‘firsts’ under their belt: the first non Israeli metal band from the middle east to get signed, and the first ever metal band out of Jerusalem with a record deal.

Killer Yaquan “Squeeze” Williams should have received death penalty for murdering police informant

24 September 2010 American Culture

What were they thinking? A Lancaster County jury gave convicted killer Yaquan “Squeeze” Williams life in prison, rather than a death sentence, for ruthlessly killing police informant Mary Johnson. Williams, with willful premeditated intention, killed Ms. Johnson in cold blood. His crime is inexcusable, and required the death penalty.

13 September 2010 American Culture

Here’s a follow up to my previous article, Aetna denies health insurance coverage to AARP member without good or just cause, published on August 25.

Build a mosque or burn a Quran, why do we tolerate the violent and tyrannical religion of Islam?

10 September 2010 American Culture

Warning! This small monologue is hardly politically correct. Complaints have been made against building an Islamic mosque at, more correctly ‘near,’ ground zero. Some right-wing Christian nut wants to burn a Quran on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Support the mosque and deny the book burning, some say. Both events never truly answer [...]
