The Great Famine in China

October 28 | Posted by mrossol | Socialism

Why did my parents know about this in 1960? I was brought up “knowing” that there were “Chinese children starving” ============ By MICHAEL FATHERS It is difficult to look dispassionately at some 45 million dead. It was not war that produced this shocking number, nor natural disaster. It was a man. It was politics and one man’s vanity. The cause was famine and... Read more

Long, but an important read. ============= By NICHOLAS EBERSTADT The American republic has endured for well over two centuries, but over the past 50 years, the apparatus of American governance has undergone a radical transformation.

In Orange County, Calif., only 2% of responses involve... Read more

Another thoughtful article. Has merit. ===== By QUINN CUMMINGS I don’t know how most people spend their second morning home schooling. I spent mine hyperventilating into a paper bag. After less than 24 hours of educating my child at home, I was struck by the realization that I wasn’t up to the task and should move immediately to Plan B. Except I didn’t... Read more
