Catherine Tershak I don't believe American schools teach children to hate their own civilization at all. It is important to learn from past mistakes, and ignorant to brush uncomfortable truths under the carpet. Perhaps I am misinterpreting you. What exactly do yo...

Catherine Tershak This is well written, but I must disagree with you. People are going to find ways to kill other people no matter what you do. And what about people who hunt? I realize that you talk about people not being allowed to buy weapons that have no purpose o...

Catherine Tershak I don't think this is a characteristic of just millennials. I think that any generation of citizens are more cynical at a younger age. It is a period of gaining knowledge and adjusting to this knowledge. That being said, good article.

Catherine Tershak If someone is willing to break the law of man and of God to murder someone, what makes you think they will heed the laws that make guns illegal? There are 20 guns in my house, I'm not about to go kill someone. And you know what if I was ment...

Catherine Tershak This is an interesting article. However, I believe it is difficult to lump atheists into one category. Just because they do not believe in deities does not mean that they do not believe in some Ultimate Reality, that we as humans cannot conceive of. ...

Catherine Tershak Looking for Superman is way too biased to be seen before other extensive research is done. Although I do agree that is was a thought provoking documentary.

Catherine Tershak I'm glad the audience wasn't allowed to involve themselves during the Florida debate. The South Carolinians cheered and clapped over absurd Gingrich statements. That could influence any uninformed viewer who was watching from home.

In the Wake of Joe Paterno's Death, Don't Heap Praise On a Vile Man

Paterno was a great coach. But he was an awful person for his involvement in the Sandusky sex scandal. In any eulogy for the former Penn State coach, this fact should trump all others.
