A Few from Lew
LewRockwell.com has some good articles and links today.

First, we have a powerful pro-life statement from by Butler Shaffer: The Deaths of Children. We must defend children not only from abortion but also total war.

Here's something for Mac-users: The five rules of cool. This blog is brought to you without any help from Bill Gates.

Finally, this is not for the politically correct: How Christianity (and Capitalism) Led to Science. Here's how it begins:

When Europeans first began to explore the globe, their greatest surprise was not the existence of the Western Hemisphere, but the extent of their own technological superiority over the rest of the world. Not only were the proud Maya, Aztec, and Inca nations helpless in the face of European intruders, so were the fabled civilizations of the East: China, India, and Islamic nations were "backward" by comparison with 15th-century Europe. How had that happened? Why was it that, although many civilizations had pursued alchemy, the study led to chemistry only in Europe? Why was it that, for centuries, Europeans were the only ones possessed of eyeglasses, chimneys, reliable clocks, heavy cavalry, or a system of music notation? How had the nations that had arisen from the rubble of Rome so greatly surpassed the rest of the world?

The author debunks The Protestant Ethic myth and notes that "[i]t was during the so-called Dark Ages that European technology and science overtook and surpassed the rest of the world."
