Re: Racism
Amish & Mennonites are all German-Americans who descend from the Anabaptist religious tradition. Both are known from their intrinsic tribalism and their rejection of certain technologies in their homes (although a surprising number of them work in technological fields). Their differentiation, th...

Re: Recon?
Speaking from an Irminic point of view, we don't see ourselves as reconstructing anything as our practice is the CONTINUANCE of a living tradition. This is at odds with all other forms of Heathenry (at least those I'm aware of) who generally see themselves are reconstituting something long dead. Of ...

Re: Ron Paul 2012!
Source? Personal experience. I'm sure you worked private sector jobs before you started doing what you do now. Didn't you get that letter (usually an annual notice) asking about all kinds of boring questions so these opinions could be taken to the stockholders' meetings and/or the Board of Trustees ...
