This is the third in my “In Defense of” series. In order to show the value of asking the saints for prayer, it is necessary to look at its biblical support, its place in Church tradition, and its underlying theology. There are a few verses that may not directly support the practice of invoking the saints, but from which one can draw premises that support it. There are three main places to turn: Hebrews 12:1; and Revelation 5:8; 8:3-4. Invoking the saints is not a mandatory practice for Christians. It does not demarcate an orthodox Christian from an unorthodox one. However, one’s position on this issue says something about our theological orientation. It is not essential but it is important.

Preparing for death requires much more than putting financial affairs in order. When you’re sick and know you’re going to die you do what’s called putting your affairs in order. The phrase calls to mind matters financial. More often, however, the ordering of affairs involves repairing personal relationships and hurriedly inflating spiritual life rafts.

Why Economic Freedom and Peace Go Hand in Hand
Evidence clearly shows that the more prosperous countries are also more peaceful. In national contexts, peace and economic freedom often feed into one other, creating the conditions for long-term prosperity and stability.
Cutting Red Tape: Four Higher Education Regulations that Should Be Eliminated
Higher education regulations have had a disproportionate impact on for-profit institutions and have generally stifled post-secondary innovation. Either the Department of Education should repeal four particular regulations or Congress should abolish them through legislation.In a time when Americans owe $1.3 trillion in student loan debt, federal policy should not limit innovation and alternatives that provide access at lower costs.

[Information from this site may not be reliable.]In recent years, we've examined any number of ways of decentralizing the American political system. These step-by-step moves can include decentralizing the monetary system, decentralizing the military, decentralizing immigration policy, and decentralizing elections. Most recently, we looked at decentralizing the welfare state, and found that each US state is more than wealthy enough and big enough to run its own welfare state at the state level without any need of planning or centralization through Washington, DC. Whether or not one thinks a welfare state is a good or necessary thing, the fact remains the US government is not an essential part of the equation.
Terry McAuliffe's Wednesday press conference on the Alexandria shooting offers an instructive lesson on what passes for quantitative analysis among politicians. Asked about the shooting, in which as left-wing activist opened fire upon a group of GOP politicians, Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe opined that the real problem is that there are "too many guns" in the United States, and that gun violence claims the lives of "93 million" Americans every day. He then restated the total a few minutes later, but when asked twice about this number by reporters, McAuliffe eventually decided he meant "93 individuals" per day. Consulting the Center for Disaese Control's most recent report on "National Vital Statistics" we find that (in 2014) there was a total of 15,872 homicides. That's total homicides committed with any type of weapon. Converting this to a "per day" figure we come up with 43 persons per day. 43 is not even close to 93. In fact, McAuliffe's figure for gun violence is more than twice the total number of homicides overall.

The surprising number of American adults who think chocolate milk comes from brown cows
Seven percent of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy. If you do the math, that works out to 16.4 million misinformed, milk-drinking people. The equivalent of the population of Pennsylvania (and then some!) does not know that chocolate milk is milk, cocoa and sugar. Many people are agriculturally illiterate, researchers say. They blame the industrial food system.
