And this… Chasing bubbles round a very icy garden (we’d made an ice-slide right down the path), in the dark while looking through a viewfinder is surprisingly [...] ...

A Mormon Gulag  »  The Story So Far
Via Pam’s House Blend.  Don’t read this if stories about Mormons physically and sexually abusing children might make you want to go out and throttle the first Mormon you see afterward.  Probably some of them don’t even know how depraved their church is.  They just see the Donny and Marie side of it and [...] ...

Radical Leftists: Still Cheerfully Working For Their Corporate Masters After All These Years  »  The Story So Far
German culture, or so I’m told from all the books I’ve been reading about it lately, teaches its own that life is mostly a zero sum game.  This, so I’m told, follows from the fact of Germany being a small nation that is very tightly packed with people.  The attitude is that if you have [...] ...
