On Sunday, September 16 I published the first essay below -  &#8220;When the Towers Fall&#8221; &#8211; in the monthly handout I prepared for our men&#8217;s ministry at church. It was based on my observations of the past few days and the [...]]]></description>

That to obscure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their assumed powers from [...]]]></description>
