Why Americans Deserve to Lose the “Right” to Self-Protection
March, 2013 Catherine Ramey, M. Div. In the 1960s and 70s Americans worshipped at the altar of “Free Speech,” no matter how abominable. They praised high court decisions allowing anti-Semites and anti-Blacks to spew hatred in public and applauded large public marches with anonymous men garbed in long white robes and coned hoods with cloth [...]
Summary of PP v. ACLA
Jayne Bray 26 January, 2013 In 1994 a band of abortionists and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the American Coalition of Life Activists [ACLA] and 14 individual anti-abortion activists.

Dealing with the Decadent Day of Silence
April, 2008 Before discussing very briefly a thought about the Day of Silence, it seems good to clarify appropriate terminology for discussing the topic of homosexuals and the proper way to treat them in the public school: whether with disdain and aloofness on the one hand or indifference and toleration on the other. Let us [...]
Higher Education in Wilmington
3 May, 2010 College mission statements, like ancient laws, national codes and constitutions, sometimes fall into desuetude – out of fashion, out of favor, ignored. If such statements or decrees reflect Divine law, then the people have gone astray. If there is no Law (as Modernists would have it), the question of the people’s morality [...]
An Open Letter to Senator Carey:
29 November, 2005 I read your essay on stem cell research in the Wilmington Journal today. I was happy to see that your vote was consistent with the religious proposition that innocent human life is worthy of protection; I was sorry to read, however, that you would make your vote dependent upon the people’s will.

Pastor Feldmeyer’s Beef with the “Literalists”
12 October 2006 Mr. Feldmeyer offered us counsel against the buffoonery of those naive “biblical literalist” (WNJ, 6 Oct., 2006). I was disappointed. But not surprised. Mr. Feldmeyer, the Pastor of Wilmington UMC, inveighed against a “biblical literalist” pastor in Watertown, New York who was attempting to apply the biblical and historically Christian doctrine (however [...]
The Horror of Water Boarding
15 October, 2006 Dear Editor, Whom would Rev. Feldmeyer torture (Journal, 13 October, 2006)? Let us define what we mean by “torture.” Less amorphous is this definition of torture: “the ripping of appendages from a body, the slicing of a live un-anesthetized body into parts, and the crushing of the skull.” That simple definition describes, [...]
Budgets and Babies in Anno Domini 2013
4 January, 2013 Dear Editor, It is often difficult for people to see the folly of their own times. German philosophers speak of the Zeit Geist (the “time ghost” or “spirit of the time”) in which certain prejudices take root and fads prevail to the point of radically, even if temporarily, altering the mindset of [...]
$5 Million for $5 Hundred?
19 March, 1996 Dear Op-Ed editor: A short piece on the ongoing mischief of Reno’s VAAPCON in Norfolk. $5 Million for $5 Hundred? The feds, having plundered the lives of decent citizens for 14 months (including the 2-month jailing of Cheryl Richardson), have moved on to Norfolk. The conclusion of that abuse of power in [...]
