• The Choice Between Capitalism and Socialism

    A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any...

  • Reforming Education: There is No Quick Fix

    (Mortimer Adler Quotes) An adequate reform of public education in our school system cannot be accomplished by anything like a quick fix. We suspect that anyone who thinks otherwise cannot fully understand the shape of an adequate reform or all the obstacles to be overcome in achieving it. The books to be read should not be limited to those written in English.... Instead it should be devoted to the great works of...

  • The Real History of Capitalism

    Take a look at the history of “trucking and bartering” itself; look at the history of modern capitalism, about which we know a lot. The first thing you’ll notice is, peasants had to be driven by force and violence into a wage-labor system they did not want; then major efforts were undertaken – conscious efforts – to create wants. In fact, if you look back, there’s a whole interesting literature of conscious discussio...

  • What is the root of all evil?

    So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the...

  • The Bureaucratic Control against Indigenous Australia

    Captain James Cooke arrived on Australian shores in the year 1770.

The savages, as Captain Cooke elucidated, were primitive, uneducated and uncivilised, roaming peripatetically, consuming what the land bared, and...

I often have wondered why all good things come to an end.

Whenever I seem to finally become complacent, suddenly life changes…

The Concept of a Truly Evil God.

Jul 9th

Posted by Andrew Crichton in Other Sites

An epistemic question frequently raised is whether the world contains quantities of evil, in such a proportion, to grant the existence of the Judaeo-Christian God unrealistic. The prospect of explaining evil, considering the notion that God is omniscient and omnipotent, is plagued with ambiguity as to why a loving, benevolent and virtuous being would allow suffering in such enormity. If a loving God existed, then it would be logical that he would bring about an existence void of pain, suffering and evil. The only reason to introduce evil would be for a greater good, inescapable from such oppression.
