The state of New York has enacted legislation aimed at making certain that, where sexual intimacy is concerned, only “yes means yes,” and that this standard will apply to activities at private colleges and universities. “Yes means yes,” for those fortunate enough not to have their minds invaded by the latest pseudo-intellectual doublespeak, refers to [...]
A multitude of people saw the YouTube video, or read the story in the news, about the actress who took part in a planned, secretly filmed ten-hour walk through Manhattan that—as expected—resulted in a substantial number of comments, catcalls, winks and what not from men she passed. The filming was arranged by an organization that [...]
It is our moral duty to arm our children both intellectually and morally against the prevailing and shifting “norms” of the day. Let us confront the “soul of madness” in modern society by prayerful courage and then cooperate with grace for the sake of all in our society. Madness reached these shores long ago. Just [...]

Same-sex marriage advocates argue that it is wrong to make value judgments about marriage. Yet they allow themselves to make value judgments about who should get to marry. You might recall the awful option faced by the title character in “Sophie’s Choice:” Pick one child or the other. It’s not a choice any mother wants [...]
After convincing my fiance that it would be so much better to watch the life of Margaret Thatcher than a movie involving aliens attacking the Earth (will they never cease?!), I suffered one of the greatest cinematic disappointments of my life. The Iron Lady taught me three things: A) It’s more important to focus on [...]
As I mentioned in my previous essay, although we still think incest is wrong, we appear to be reaching the point where we can’t explain why its wrong.
