Individual Responsibility in Ezekiel

Guest Post: “An Expanded Vision of ‘Western Heritage’: Why It Matters for Education”

  • Culture
September 3, 2020September 3, 2020
Author: David Green Ahmanson

  • Culture
November 4, 2019May 19, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Here I affirm that most of the serious structural changes in society associated with the Baby Boomer generation were, in fact, set in place by people far older.  The Boomers, however, certainly took advantage of them!  And we, on the […]
