I encourage anyone who hasn't been exposed to Rushdoony to read some of his works. A giant of the faith. It is nice to see something on agrarianism at Chalcedon. I've been impressed with Chris Ortiz's work over there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-1145220822448362262006-04-16T16:53:00.000-04:002006-04-16T16:53:00.000-04:00Herrick,Many years ago now, I once saw an advertis...Herrick,<BR/>Many years ago now, I once saw an advertisement in a magazine that caught my eye. It had a picture of a sky scraper emerging from the ruins of an artists rendering of the tower of Babel. The words above it said "We are un-doing the Babel effect". If I remember correctly the ad was for an airlines that was promoting world wide travel. <BR/><BR/>It really struck me then how the world is becoming out rightly defiant of the restrictions that God has placed on mankind for our own good. Worldly people don't care and are bent on destruction.<BR/><BR/>Thank the lord we know the end of the story.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter <BR/><BR/>RussRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192953682155468376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-1145149064768732352006-04-15T20:57:00.000-04:002006-04-15T20:57:00.000-04:00"The issue here is not isolationism -- far from it...<I><B>"The issue here is not isolationism -- far from it.
