 God, Mystics, Yoga: What Americans Believe
God, Mystics, Yoga: What Americans Believe
Fifty-nine percent Americans polled agree that "all religions have validity" and only twelve percent agree that "mine is the only true religion." To an extent, this reflects an attitude introduced into America by Enlightenment philosophy, Freemasonry, Transcendentalism, and, most recently, Theosophy in the late 19th century. picked by Bornbad 1 month ago

 Why Medical Malpractice Is Off Limits
Why Medical Malpractice Is Off Limits
Malpractice suits with outrageous rewards and huge rates for malpractice insurance cost Americans $200 billion annually in health-care costs. Serious tort reform could help 300 million Americans. Democratic controlled congress has resisted such reforms. Trial lawyers rank among the largest contributors to Democrats but that is just a coincidence right? picked by 2manyusernames 1 month ago
