Cure for the Common Question: Today's students become time-budgeting pros

Oct. 6, 2008

Class ends 10 minutes early, so I hop out of my desk and head for the door, crossing the room diagonally because it's quicker. Can I wait until the afternoon to write my paper? If I delegate part of the project, that's one less hour I need to work on it. If I get rid of that hour, maybe I could also go into work early and get out early and then I'd be done with my day and actually have time to eat dinner at a reasonable hour! Freeze-frame.

Soft words, hard arguments: Pulpits need to be nonpolitical to stay nontaxable

Oct. 6, 2008

Several religious leaders took to the pulpit recently in a move that simultaneously defied the law and threatened the separation of church and state. A group of 33 pastors openly endorsed political candidates last week while preaching, ignoring a federal law that bars tax-exempt religious institutions from endorsing political candidates. The law in question was created to ensure that nonprofit houses of worship do not become tax-exempt rallying points for political campaigns. The pastors have argued that they should be allowed to speak on any issue and maintain their tax-exempt status. They violated the law and have used religion as a shield. These pastors have committed a serious ethical breach by attempting to hide behind the Constitution while trying to advance their own political ambitions. Churches are not taxed and thus must not be allowed to become centers for political recruitment.
