Spirit Of The Fourth
A reflection on the Fourth of July as both a festive summer holiday and a reminder of founding ideals. It celebrates picnics and fireworks while stressing that rights come from a Creator and governments derive power from the governed. The piece urges mindful remembrance of the words and spirit that birthed the day.
History, gains, and the danger of complacent progress
The piece argues history shows gains can slip away as new generations take progress for granted. It highlights the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and its aim to curb sex discrimination, noting loopholes and potential early limits on women’s job opportunities, alongside advice on preventing auto theft as a practical daily concern.
