In these pages, you will see how love and hate and ignorance and gentility...

By the afternoon of the December 7 attack on Pearl Harbor, America was a radically changed country, forever.

Our democracy today is fraught with political campaigns, lobbyists, liberal media, and Fox News commentators, all using language to influence the way we think and reason about public issues. Even so, many of us believe that propaganda and manipulation aren't problems for us--not in the way they were for the totalitarian societies of the mid-twentieth century.

Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility, and eternity...
