• The Old Testament records the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. The Gospels record the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ our Lord. The book of Acts records the propagation of the gospel (the good news) concerning Jesus Christ. The Epistles (letters) explain the gospel and its implications for our lives. The book of Revelation anticipates and describes the second coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. From beginning to end, the Bible glorifies Jesus Christ and centers on Him. Its Christ-centeredness is one of its wonderful features.

• Voting, the be all and end all of modern democratic politicians, has become a farce, if indeed it was ever anything else. By voting, the people decide only which of the oligarchs preselected for them as viable candidates will wield the whip used to flog them and will command the legion of willing accomplices and anointed lickspittles who perpetrate the countless violations of the people's natural rights. Meanwhile, the masters soothe the masses by assuring them night and day that they - the plundered and bullied multitudes who compose the electorate - are themselves the government.

• It's Good...But
  No more rush hour driving
  To start and end your day
  No more early alarm calls
  But..much less pay
  No more back stabbing
  Or rising to the bait
  No more phone calls from the boss
  Asking you to work late
  But...having to get by
  On half your hourly rate
  Now you have all day
  To sit or doze to stay to go
  Anywhere you like...
  ..cheaply
  You've got less dough
  Travel around the world
  Do anything you've desired
  But do it economically
  Now that you're retired
