Obviously, we should never condemn the psychologically and spiritually healthy men and women who realize early in life that they have something valuable in the way of intelligence, determination, wealth, ambition, strength or courage to serve society through a sound quid pro quo. There is very little to be gained by becoming a contrarian. […]
Recently, a controversy has been stirred over the words, “In God We Trust,” on the American currency. Many from the secular world object to the reference of a higher power on any monetary unit that is used by many people of different faiths and beliefs. Yet, there is not much of an argument […]
