Come on! This has got to be a joke! In this article, some British scientists are trying to get obesity warning labels on clothing designed for overweight people. Now, I can’t make excuses for those who are overweight (which would include me if you go by the Body Mass Index — I’m supposedly obese). I…

Brother Card has published another great essay: Civilization Watch – Building Better Children – The Ornery American Even though the URL indicates “warwatch”, it’s part of his “Civilization Watch” series.

His words could have easily been said by myself (with some minor differences), except with much less eloquence. For the most part, I completely agree with what he says. My only issue is that…
