I wonder if E. Gong subscribes to the Oaks school and has told his son that he isn't welcome to stay the night with his same sex lover? Apostles can't afford to give out the impression that they support the same sex lifestyle, at least according to Oaks. E. Gong's son probably isn't welcome with hi...

Midgely I trust that everyone who is rational will have noticed that Professor Peterson has found a way of hiding downvotes. Disqus has provided a way to do this to blunt this kind of thing, since it seems to take place on other blogs on the Disqus platform. I am not sure why Disqus programmers coul...

I just happen to have gone to what is strangely called "high school"--East High School to be exact--with Bob Bennett and then to--gasp--the University of Utah, both at the same time. So I knew Senator Bennett when he was, like me, just a dumb kid. My father rented his own office from, Wallace Benne...
