DEBUNKING THE US REAL ESTATE RECOVERYThis month the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) announced soaring median house prices USD 174K up from USD 155K the previous year and a mere 1.75 million homes, 4 months supply remaining in inventory. The message is clear buy now before it is too late. The NAR is one of the main sources of “irrational exuberance” for the US property market.Believing this assumes one has a very short memory of previous forward looking statements by the NAR such as those in 2005-7 that the housing market could never collapse.

THE BERNANKE HIGHToday saw the Dow reach a new all time high of 14254, exceeding 2007 levels. At the same time  the FTSE saw 5 year highs. The mainstream media slavishly and mindlessly report this   euphoric situation, linking it to the economic recovery, particularly in the US, and of course the financial genius of Ben Bernanke and the FED.. They fail to mention a few troubling little details about the US economy now, compared with then in 2007:

"How Should We Then Live?" in this increasingly mad world; a world in which a Dawkins can tell us we are "just bytes and bytes... of digital information," and an Ehrlich (and the Club of Rome) that we're a "cancer" requiring "radical surgery." From Psalm 62 and a letter of Paul, we locate our true human dignity in the Transcendent Ground of Being, and learn to resolve the paradox of being fully involved in life while "holding all things lightly."

Some new details on the history of compulsory schooling

Topic: We discuss an email question from a student. It reads: I'm a 15 year old guy in 9th grade (in public school) and wanted to ask you a question. So if all people in America are supposedly guaranteed the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, how is it not considered "unconstitutional" for kids to be forced to go to school? I do not want to go to school, so isn't that infringing on my liberty and pursuit of happiness?
