As a trained Southern Baptist minister and a political scientist, I am bothered by many politicians and preachers who proclaim what God intends for me, or us, to …
Could the horrific Germanwings Jetliner disaster have been prevented? Why didn’t the psychiatrists who gave Andreas Lubitz notes stating that he was too sick to work send copies of those letters to the airlines?
The TPP is presented as an agreement to increase U.S. exports and jobs. But what is really at stake is democracy—in the United States as well as in the 11 other Pacific Rim countries that are parties to the TPP. Given past agreements on which the TPP is modeled, including the North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA), TPP provisions will likely …
