How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Redneck "Spanish" Rice

How did this dish get its name? Simple. One night, I described how I made Spanish rice to the students in my ESL (English as a Second Language) class. One fellow, named Daniel, looked at me in disbelief, hung his head, shook it back and forth, and just said, "That not riiiight." So I figured I'd better change the name, just so's not to confuse anyone.

Look, this is still a good, easy, simple way to make tasty, reasonably nutritious rice.

First, get yerself a rice cooker. This is the easiest way to cook rice I have ever seen. Aroma makes some good ones at very reasonable prices.

Then, get some long-grain brown rice. Trust me--the rice will be fluffier.

Cook the rice according to the cooker directions. In my case, it's basically two parts rice to three parts water--just depends on how much you want to cook, you know? Then you press the button and wait for about an hour (I told you it was easy).

When the rice is done, stir in your choice of salsa--as much or as little as you like.

That's it. Very easy, actually fairly tasty. Any moron could make it. And it's whole-grain.

What the heck else do you want?
