	<title>Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent &#187; Morality</title>

	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of medical care is always restorative…or at least it should be. It is meant to treat the sick and restore them to health, at least as much as possible at our current stage of knowledge and development. A severed arm is reattached, if possible. A malfunctioning thyroid is treated with medicine to restore [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the first to admit that I&#8217;m not always the humble, even-keeled guy I ought to be. I&#8217;m very opinionated and very outspoken about those opinions. I often find myself diving headlong into online debates about politics and, occasionally, religion…admittedly, sometimes when I probably ought to keep my mouth shut. But no matter how passionate [...]]]></description>

I assumed at the time that this was simply your standard DC gang [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having no luck with timely posts over the last couple weeks. So in the interest of consistency, here are my belated thoughts on Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. I observed with some incredulity this year as some &#8216;evangelical&#8217; Christian groups tried to replace Halloween with the unfortunately-named &#8220;Jesus Ween.&#8221; Intended to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while since I have discussed the subject of capital punishment on this site. Indeed, my only piece of writing dealing solely with the subject is an 11th Grade English paper titled &#8220;Thou Shalt Not Kill&#8220;—coincidentally, the oldest piece of content still present on this site. If you go read it, please [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote just over a year ago about how dishonorable our society has become in many ways. One particular area I pointed out was in business how things are advertised very simply (e.g., &#8216;unlimited Internet!&#8217;) while the reality is often much more complex and contradictory (e.g., &#8217;2gb per month&#8217;—which is not &#8216;unlimited&#8217;). Another area of [...]]]></description>

We all know the stories of President Bill Clinton (D) and Monica Lewinsky, Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA 6th) and Callista [...]]]></description>

In the time since, we have witnessed three disturbing things, each deserving of some discussion.

		<description><![CDATA[There is no proof that God exists. Some of my religious friends may be surprised or offended by this statement, but it is true. The existence of God simply has not been proven in any scientifically valid way. Many have made valiant and thought-provoking efforts at &#8216;proofs&#8217; of God&#8217;s existence, most notably the five proofs (Quinque viae) of [...]]]></description>

The quake, measuring a whopping 9.0 magnitude, is among the five strongest ever recorded. It spawned a devastating tsunami up to thirty feet high that further decimated areas of northern Japan [...]]]></description>
