The Troubles and the Lovely Ladies of Kragfergus

I'm just back in Scotland after a two day visit to Northern Ireland. I was born in the Province in 1970, although with my father in the navy it was not until I was 8 years old that I actually went to live in the country, having left when just a couple of days old to reside in Helensburgh and then Plymouth. This week was my first visit back home in seven years, but although my main reason for going was to see the new PRONI building and to do some research in some Belfast cemeteries, I managed to get in a couple of hours research at the library in my home town of Carrickfergus.

I decided to look through some old editions of the weekly newspaper, the Carrick Advertiser, from 1980-1982, really to see if I could find any stories concerning my family. I successfully located an image of myself and my brother in a primary school choir, and several of an aunt winning golf tournaments.

There was one discovery that really came as a surprise though. I'm sure everyone is aware that Northern Ireland spent 30 years going through the Troubles. In 1979, when I moved back to Carrick, I had no idea about the Troubles, I was a kid who had grown up in Britain - I had no idea my family were all Protestants, as I had no idea what the word actually meant - I'd never heard it before. We returned to Carrick after my parents separated, and after the death of my gran. My father inherited her house in a part of the town called Joymount - it had only one tap in the house with cold water (hot water had to be boiled in a big pot on the gas cooker!), no bathroom, no washing machine (we had to use the sink and then a mangle!) and an outside toilet, and we stayed there for two years.

One night, aged 11, I remember suddenly waking up in my bedroom in the middle of the night and going to the window to peak outside. There was a car park outside about fifty yards away, facing the library, and around a car was the British Army. Not all of them mind - it was the bomb squad. I watched absolutely fascinated as a small robot was driven over to the car from where the soldiers were deployed, with police cars nearby with blue globes flashing, all an extraordinary sight for an 11 year old kid half-asleep! My dad came in and told me to get back into bed; he may have possibly even moved us into a back room, I can't remember.

Yesterday I came across a newspaper article about this very incident. The car, it transpired, was a Ford Cortina, and had been hijacked at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast a month before. It had suddenly been spotted in this Carrick car park, and being suspiciously parked the standard response was to get the army out to perform a controlled explosion on it, in case it was actually carrying a bomb. It only occurred to me yesterday whilst reading the piece that nobody actually knocked on our door to tell us that there might be an IRA bomb just fifty yards from the house! The whole operation lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes, all over by 5am. The article also showed a picture illustrating what happens when you park a car badly...

The Troubles did occasionally hit Carrickfergus when I was there. The papers ran the occasional funeral report of an RUC (police) officer from the town being killed in another part of the Province, but nothing else ever really seemed to happen if you believed the press. The papers were instead more filled with ridiculous bickering between the borough's politicians, often on thinly veiled sectarian or class based issues. They were also extremely sexist! Lots of "Lovely Lady of Kragfergus" competitions, women posing in football tops when the boys were going off to play, and more. And religion. My God, if ever a place was contaminated by self-opinionated men of the cloth, it was Carrickfergus! One minister wrote often in the paper to basically tell us how evil we all were - he actually carried out my Gran's funeral ten years ago and spent 5 minutes telling us who she was (getting just about every detail wrong) and then an hour telling us why we were all sinners and needing to repent! And so on.

Whilst the national press would have of course focussed on a Troubles based story every day, in a local paper like the Carrick Ad, you got a different image. A tiny, quiet wee community just 9 miles from Belfast, more worried about their version of God than they were the paramilitaries, where nothing ever really happened. Lovely Lady competitions and bonnie babies.

And yet things did happen. I remember one time, for example, of not being able to get into the railway station shop, to pick up newspapers for my paper round, because somebody had been shot in the loyalist pub next door. Then there's the story of an ex-loyalist in the town. He had apparently served time for making the fundamental error from the loyalist POV of blowing up the British Legion by mistake (not sure if he ever claimed his Darwin Award!). Another loyalist who did time in the Maze, and who learned Gaelic to try to understand the communications of IRA men - and who subsequently fell in love with the language. And so on.

The point is that it is great to flesh out the context of our ancestors' lives from contemporary resources, but those resources, such as local newspapers, will never tell the whole story, despite being right on the doorstep. To address this, over the last few years I have actually been writing up an account of my childhood for my sons, painting a picture of the Carrickfergus where I grew up, the issues that affected my family (and not those of the middle class God-fearing "dressed in their Sunday best" elite in the town), and what made us tick.

My story of Carrickfergus is the story of being raised in a single parent family. Where everyone knew somebody involved in the Troubles but always turned the other cheek to look away. Where despite patronising ministers and unambitious politicians who only understood the word "Never" there were also some real heroes - the summer scheme volunteers at the Leisure Centre, acting as surrogate parents for a few hours every day in our long summer holidays; Paddy Lennox and his boxing club, designed to get boys off the streets and to give them something to think about other than orange or green; the strikers at Kilroot and the workers of Courtaulds fighting to save their living; and the true heroes like Sean Neeson, a politician and family friend of real conviction who eventually rose to great heights within his Alliance party. It's the story of the working harbour where Kane's fuels were delivered each week, and where you could climb the castle's rocks or go fishing without a permit at the pilot boat base at the end of the quay. A town where the neighbours always had an open door and a cup of sugar or milk you could borrow before your dad could buy some more once he had picked up his dole cheque down at the 'broo'.

The Carrickfergus I lived in has long gone, and walking around the place yesterday, a lot has changed and some things have remained the same. West Street is a ghost town, and my old housing estate of Castlemara is now infested with paramilitaries, with their pathetic paintings on each gable end wall from a culture imported from Belfast shortly after I left in 1991.

The only place where the Carrickfergus I grew up in now truly resides is in my memory - it will never return and that is why I am writing it all down now before it fades away.

Census Day 2011

Today is the day of the latest decennial census here in Scotland, and for the first time we have been able to supply our information online. We were also given a paper copy as an option, meaning that this time around we have had two possible ways to submit the required information. And that has allowed for a bit of fun in the Paton household!

I answered the census first on paper to make sure that I had all the details right for myself, my wife Claire and boys Calum and Jamie. An interesting question for me is "What is your ethnic group?" Crikey, what is my ethnic group?! The options were Scottish, Other British, Irish, Gypsy/Traveller, Polish, or Other. I'm from Northern Ireland's protestant community, though not religious in the slightest. Am I ethnically Scottish? My Ulster lot arrived from Scotland with the Plantations. Am I Irish? I was born on the island of Ireland, and have some southern Irish connections also. Am I Other British, being Northern Irish? As in not-Scottish, having been born in Ireland? You can't beat an identity crisis like those enjoyed by your average Ulsterman! lol I opted for ethnically Irish but put my national identity as both Scottish and Northern Irish (Tick all options that apply!).

With the written document complete, I then used the online website to submit the required details to the Scottish Government, the whole procedure taking just a few minutes more. With that completed, I received a receipt code to confirm that the Government had received the information required. So that then left me with a redundant paper copy! Now the census asked some seriously dreary questions, so I decided to get my boys and wife together, and to go through it and ask for some additional material, scribbling the extra information onto the pages also.

So now posterity will know that my eldest son's favourite bands are Queen and Bon Jovi; my youngest son's favourite book is "Star Wars: Clone Wars annual 2011"; and my wife speaks English very well, but has her own "Clairey words" that only she understands, and has a birthday celebrated only every four years!

Then the interrogation got much more in depth! So my eldest son's religion is accompanied with the note that he goes to church reluctantly, my youngest returned home on Census Day from a sleep over at his best friend's, and my wife's favourite quote comes from her father in Ireland, who once answered someone knocking on his front door with "Feck off, there's nobody home!"

I've still to ask myself some additionally probing questions, but hopefully anyone reading the paper version, if it survives for another hundred years, will know just what made us tick as a family, and not just what our contribution to the state's problems were! lol

Irish poor sent back home

As it's Saint Paddy's day, here's a wee gem that might be of interest for those with Irish ancestors who settled in Scotland and England.

It's often suggested that it is worth checking poor relief records for members of the Irish community who settled in Britain in the decades following the famine of the 1840s. In some cases, many were actually sent back to the poor law unions from whence they originated, if the money needed for that relief could not be reclaimed by the relevant poor law union handling the claim.

The British Parliamentary Papers contain accounts of some of these returns. I've not had a chance to go through the original returns myself, but a very nice man from Wishaw who goes by the name of Raymond has created Raymond's County Down website at, and in this he has copied some of the records (perhaps all). The following collections can be browsed on his site:

* Return of all poor persons, removed from Scotland to Ireland Jan 1st 1867-Dec 31st 1869

* Return of poor from Scotland to Ireland, 1875/76/77/78

* Return of all poor persons removed from England & Wales to Ireland 1867/1869

* Return of poor persons, England & Wales since 1st Jan. 1875

The records are extremely detailed, often stating how long a person was resident in Britain, how many were in the household, their ages, and the parish to which they were returned in Ireland. They are laid out in county order, and then by parish and alphabetically by name.

Perhaps a member of your family was kicked out of Britain? If so, you may find them here. Free to access.

Hope it helps!

Wha saw the 42nd?

Folk songs often have a lot more to them than meets the eye - a song of the Black Watch is "Wha Saw the 42nd?" ("Who saw the 42nd?"), but this was in fact a reworking of a Jacobite song called "Wha Wedna Fecht for Charlie?" ("Who wouldn't fight for Charlie?") - the Black Watch were very much an anti-Jacobite militia in origin! Here's my youngest son Jamie giving it lally....!

Thanks wee man! (He's been practising it for a Burns competition!)

“Gotham’s time has come. The city has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice. . . . It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die . . . it must be destroyed.”

With these words in the first act of Batman Begins, we are introduced to Gotham City, and the first installment of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, which remains the most critically acclaimed, popularly loved, and symbolically enduring superhero trilogy to date. But rather than being simply a series about one hero’s crusade against evil, the saga gives us another more complex character: the deeply broken Gotham City—and the question of whether it can ever be saved.

The film’s opening words are from Ra’s Al Guhl, head of the League of Shadows, a ninja cult which claims to “hate evil and serve true justice.” A lost Bruce Wayne has trained with this League, so that he too may “seek the means to fight injustice.” His training culminates with a twofold commission: He must execute a local thief (because “injustice cannot be tolerated. Criminals thrive on the indulgences of society’s understanding.”) and then lead the League back to Gotham City to execute its righteous judgment. Note that the League’s goal is not the typically villainous fare of world domination: Their stand against suffering and injustice is positively humanitarian; they just have some radical interpretations of what must, therefore, be done. But Bruce insists on the power of compassion and refuses to cooperate, fleeing the League in an explosive escape. He returns to Gotham—and with the help of friends like Alfred and WayneTech’s resourceful Lucius Fox—Bruce becomes the Batman, striking fear into the heart of the criminal element, but refusing to become an executioner.

We need these very human stories about what it means to long for hope in a dark world.

Bruce explains his vision to Alfred: “People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy . . . as a man . . . I can be destroyed; but as a symbol—as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.” In Begins, Batman isn’t a soldier; he is a symbol, one meant to ultimately inspire those in the police and legal system to play their role in restoring Gotham. This too is all part of a yearning; Nolan’s world is technically realistic (there are no super-powers) but in its ideas it soars, reaching for the language of myth, of incorruptible ideals, and of inspiration to give light to its own dark world.

In the final act, the League of Shadows returns to exact the reckoning they have longed for: Again the goal is not mere destruction. Ra’s Al Guhl sees Gotham’s existence as a barrier to human flourishing: “Crime, despair, this is not how man was supposed to live.” He sees their work akin to the purging fire that tames a wild forest, through which “the movement back to harmony will be unstoppable.” The yearning is clear: a vision of harmony—a utopian ideal made complete only by Gotham’s destruction.

Yet Bruce, through all the trials he faces, insists that “Gotham isn’t beyond saving,” encouraging Lieutenant Gordon that “we can bring Gotham back.” When the film concludes, with Batman victorious against the League, Gordon tells him that “you really started something . . . hope on the streets.” The hope of which he speaks may not be as specific as the League’s ideal of a world without Gotham, but is surely a yearning, a yearning of the people, on the streets, for something glimpsed but not yet fully seen.

So, Batman Begins sets our scene with a supremely corrupt City, one in which cops collude with criminals and injustice and inequality thrive. It is so fallen that some actively plot for its demise, believing its destruction would benefit mankind. Yet we are also introduced to the possibility of hope; there are honest DAs and noble cops, and together they save Gotham and inspire its people to believe in hope.

While Begins shrouded its locales in shadow and darkness, The Dark Knight brings us, visually at least, into daylight. The shadows of Begins pointed to a City desperately steeped in darkness—marking our introduction to Gotham’s depravity. In contrast, The Dark Knight gives us daylight and with it, hope: We meet Gotham’s White Knight Harvey Dent, an idealistic DA who believes “the night is always darkest before the dawn, and the dawn is coming.” Bruce sees him as “the first legitimate ray of light in decades”; he believes that “Gotham needs a hero with a face” and sees Dent as that hero. When Dent, Gordon, and Batman work to round up hundreds of mobsters, things look promising for Gotham. Yet there are obstacles. Batman must wrestle with his legacy: He has fought injustice and inspired good, but he has also inspired copycat Bat-vigilantes, less competent and less equipped everymen who wear capes but also carry guns. Their courage is noble but they are far from the good that Bruce had hoped to inspire.

Most seriously, a new player has emerged: the unpredictable force of the Joker, an agent of chaos who introduces himself to us by riffing off Nietzsche: “What doesn’t kill you, simply makes you . . . stranger.” He has no rules, and unlike the League of Shadows, no grand plan for Gotham; as Alfred puts it, “Some men just want to watch the world burn.” The Dark Knight isn’t always subtle, but it certainly is quotable. The Joker’s only aim is deconstruction: He wants show that even the noble Harvey Dent can be corrupted, and he wants to show that the civility of society is a pathetic mask: “Their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke . . . they’re only as good as the world allows them to be . . . when the chips are down, these civilized people, they’ll eat each other.”

So the conflict of the film is thus: Batman and the Joker fighting for the soul of Gotham. Whose estimation is correct? The film is ambiguous, but not aimless. On one hand we see genuine hope and the presence of virtue. In its final act, the Joker constructs a nefarious set-piece: two ships, both rigged with explosives, one filled with prisoners, the other with civilians. Both will explode at midnight, unless one group chooses to destroy the other with the detonator they’ve been given. The Joker believes that human self-interest will ensure destruction (it nearly does) but finds that neither ship is willing to destroy the other. The Joker’s low view of humanity is challenged, as Batman tells him: “This City just showed you that it’s full of people ready to believe in good.”

Yet on the other hand, we see great depravity. Nolan pulls no punches in depicting the fall of the White Knight Harvey Dent, who becomes the deranged, murderous Two-Face when he loses the woman he loves—his face now half burned off, laying bare his conflict with his inner darkness. Bruce’s dream of Gotham’s ray of light is thus shattered; his utopian yearning rested on a broken individual who could not bear its weight. “The Joker won,” says Gordon, “[he] took the best of us and tore him down. The people will lose hope . . .” Seeing his fallen idol, Bruce makes a bold choice: Batman will take the fall for Dent’s murders, allowing Gotham to maintain its belief in this White Knight and the dawn he promised. It’s a lie of course, but “sometimes the truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.” In this self-sacrifice, Batman is seen, in Gordon’s words, to be “the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now . . . so we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it.” So the yearning for Gotham’s dawn continues, built now on the dubious foundation of the false myth of the White Knight, while its true hero becomes the City’s pariah, in the hope of preserving hope.

The Dark Knight Rises concludes the story of Bruce Wayne, but also completes the story of Gotham City. Eight years have passed since Batman took the fall for Dent’s murders, but once again the health of the City is ambiguous. Some optimistically declare a “historic turnaround” and “peace time”; certainly many criminals are off the streets—banished to indefinite incarceration by the parole-denying Harvey Dent Act. This harshly brokered peace seems to belie less of a transformed City and more of one desperately trying to suppress its own demons.

One man will make it his mission to release those demons: The masked man Bane is “Gotham’s reckoning” come to finish the work of the League of Shadows, finally executing its death sentence on Gotham. Bane is ferocious, terrifying, and will push Bruce—who is now a crippled, cape-less recluse—further than ever before.

Batman makes a triumphant return to the spotlight to try to stop Bane—right before Bane breaks Batman’s back. Bruce is left in a giant, insurmountable pit, from which he will watch Gotham as it dies. With Batman broken, Bane turns to Gotham’s other hero, its White Knight. After blowing up the City’s bridges—trapping its police force underground and threatening Gotham with the detonation of an atomic bomb—Bane plays his killing stroke: revealing to Gotham the depressing truth about Dent.

The City is thus plunged into apocalyptic levels of desperation, abandoned by the rest of America and left with no heroes to believe in. Bane believes he is ushering in “the next era of western civilization,” freeing Gotham’s criminals from prison and inciting a revolution where the people take back their city from the elite.

But of course, this is The Dark Knight Rises. Watching the plight of the city he loves, Bruce musters up the physical and emotional strength to emerge from the pit, and returns to Gotham. His return is not subtle (he marks it with a giant flaming bat emblazoned on a bridge) but it is powerful: He frees thousand of trapped cops and then fights with them, on the ground and in the daylight. Where Gotham’s cops used to be weak and corrupt, here they stand courageously against Bane’s army, inspired by the Batman they once vilified. Where Batman once used the darkness as his ally, here he stands, symbolically of course, in the light. In the end, one last sacrifice is required: Batman gives his own life in order to stop Bane’s atomic bomb from destroying Gotham. Then Nolan plays with us again. The film’s coda strongly suggesting that Bruce in fact survived and found new life outside of Gotham and outside of Batman, fulfilling the dream that Alfred had had for Bruce.

Reflecting on the whole story then, we have seen two main utopian yearnings. The first is that of the League of Shadows. Their Utopia is a world without Gotham, a world where mankind can flourish free from its sick corruption. The second is that of Batman, who yearns for Gotham’s new dawn, a day when Batman is no longer needed and people can live in relative peace. These yearnings are utopian in so far as they look toward an imagined new and better state of existence, the light which gives hope and momentum to the shadow of the present.

The League’s self-righteous stand against Gotham reminds one of Genesis 6: an Earth “corrupt and filled with violence,” and God’s regret of what He had made, and the purging flood that follows. However, after that flood, God promises it will never again be this way. What follows in the rest of Scripture is God’s long-suffering mercy and compassion with this fallen world: He now brings about redemption and New Creation, not destruction. Perhaps it is worth asking: As Christians, do we ever fall into despising this world so much that, like the League of Shadows, we long for its destruction? What’s interesting is that the League’s grim assessment of human nature isn’t easily quashed by the evidence: sometimes Gotham does look beyond saving—as does our own world. Yet Bruce’s perseverance in being sure of what he hopes for and certain of what is unseen (Hebrews 11:1) is what allows Gotham to not only survive, but to grow, slowly, into a more beautiful city.

But what is Bruce’s hope rooted in—what exactly does he believe in? God and religion are all but absent from this trilogy, but faith and mythology aren’t. We’ve already seen how Bruce sees Batman as an incorruptible, everlasting symbol meant to inspire the people—one that transcends even himself because “Batman can be anyone.” Then in the prologue to The Dark Knight, a despairing bank clerk cries at the Joker almost prophetically: “What do you believe in?! What do you believe in?!” The Dark Knight Rises seems to offer Gotham’s answer to that question when it opens its prologue with the solemn voice of Commissioner Gordon: “I believed in Harvey Dent.” We are thus recalled to Gotham’s crisis of faith and the tragic truth about the fall of Gotham’s White Knight. Faith can be powerful, inspirational, but it can also be woefully misplaced. And anyone can have it: Alfred warns Bruce of the ferocity of Bane, exalted not simply by his physical might but rather: “[In him] I see the power of belief.”

Belief is powerful, and Bruce’s belief seems to be simply in goodness, either as an abstract concept or something within human nature. Christians would hopefully want to add to the content of that belief, but belief in goodness is a good start. Again, Bruce insists that people need something to believe in, and for a long time he believes that Harvey Dent can be that symbol. Dent can’t live up to it of course, and it is Batman who saves Gotham ultimately. It is Batman who takes on a guilt not his own, gives his life for the city, plunges into a pit of darkness but then emerges, dying to his old life and emerging into the new. So in fact, maybe Gotham does believe in a savior, and some would say that he sounds quite familiar.

Nolan gives us a longing for a bright city, and he gives Gotham a savior too, albeit a complex one. But his trilogy isn’t just interesting because it alludes to Christian notions, but rather because it gives us a human story about what it means to long for hope in a dark world. It shows how mythology and language of the transcendent are necessary for shaking people out of apathy and inspiring them to good. As Christians, we might be encouraged by the richness of symbol in our faith, where God is a Father, a Shepherd, a King; we are part of Creation, but also part of The Fall; we battle with Sin and we long for Life Everlasting. This is not masking a grim reality. This is the true myth which names a profound reality in a world which—like Gotham—often declares hope to be futile.

Lastly, real and personal participation is essential. The saga highlights the power and importance of community—but it also shows the call to costly sacrifice. Batman’s crusade doesn’t just cost him his nights; it tests him physically, psychologically, and emotionally. The woman he loves is killed by the Joker. He takes the blame for Dent’s murders, becoming hated by Gotham when he had only ever labored for its good. In Rises, he is hunted by police and back-broken by Bane, and nearly gives his life in the film’s finale. Bruce’s hope is not glib or cheap, but one fully invested in what it longs for; he is willing to be “whatever Gotham needs me to be” because he values the city and its prosperity more than his own.

Jesus gave His life to save our world, and we too are called to be servants to a world in need, willing to sacrifice as our Savior did, and loving the City more than ourselves (Jer. 29:7). This is of course difficult when only what is success is judged by what one sees instantly: self-promotion is easy and can garner much attention, but quiet, sacrificial labor takes time and may never be seen. Just as Gotham never knew the identity of its caped crusader, are we willing to be relatively unknown by the world if it means being caught up in something that truly endures?

In making Gotham a grounded reality, Nolan encourages us to take it seriously, rather than seeing it as simply an atmospheric backdrop. We can all relate to cities that are broken; whose systems proliferate inequality and oppression. We know that legal systems can be flawed and ineffective, and we know that police forces can be corrupt or misguided. We know crime, and we know terrorism. Gotham City is our city: a broken world looking for something to believe in. False prophets abound: Bane’s upheaval promises social revolution but brings only chaos and destruction. Harvey Dent is well intentioned but can’t bear the weight of the messianic pressure laid upon him. It’s not hard to see contemporary political parallels: so often we’re looking for a leader who we believe could be the hero we need, but we don’t need Nolan to remind us how disappointing leaders—human as they are—can be.

But this truth is a call to wisdom, not despair. If we see Gotham in our world, then we must see Batman too. Not merely a crime-fighting man in a cape, but a symbol, “something incorruptible, everlasting . . .” who fights for the soul of the city and inspires its people to hope. Perhaps if we want to save our city, we need to give up looking for a Harvey Dent-esque hero to save us. Nolan instead teaches us that “Batman can be anyone”: any of us, all of us, can be light to a world that’s all but given up.

Does Nolan conclude with the utopia that Gotham yearned for? We don’t see perfection, but we do see a dawn. Gordon aptly reads from A Tale of Two Cities at Wayne’s funeral:

“I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”

We then see one personal utopia, Alfred’s dream of one day sitting in a cafe in Florence to see Bruce also there, happy and not alone—is realized. The scene is so sunny and idealistic it almost feels out of place in this dark saga, but perhaps that’s the point. It’s a brief moment, and there’s space left to wonder if what we’re seeing is real, but perhaps this matters because it is finally a utopia found. Bruce does indeed find rest. It is paradise regained, in a world where peace and happiness were always just a dream. The last shot of the film is Bruce’s protégé of sorts John Blake (legal name Robin—wink, wink) rising on the elevating floor of a newly discovered Batcave. Nolan doesn’t give us a simple, perfect utopia, but he does give us hope. We’re left looking up. We’re yearning.

Hobby Lobby: Ethical or Confused?

Amidst the many frenzied, pro-Hobby Lobby statements swirling around the internet lately, Janaury 5th is now being called "Hobby Lobby Shopping Day."   Suddenly, if you want to be a good Christian, you should be taking a moral stand on Saturday by buying some craft supplies!  Well before rushing out to buy stuff that you probably don't even need, have you considered that the Hobby Lobby case is not as cut-and-dried as it appears to be?

But first, a few disclaimers:

1. As a Libertarian, I'm not a fan of government imposing health insurance regulations on private businesses.
2. I believe that the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution is quite clear that any and all powers that are not delegated to the Federal government, elsewhere in the Constitution, are reserved to the States. Thus the health insurance issue being handled at the Federal level is a clear Constitutional violation, and would be more appropriately handled at the state level.
3. I am pro-life.

So it sounds like I should be totally supportive of Hobby Lobby's "brave moral stand," right?

No actually - the more I've read about it, the more it seems to me that their stand is illogical, hypocritical, and actually not pro-life at all - according to their own definitions, anyway.

Hobby Lobby has gone to court over their moral objection to emergency contraceptive drugs, labeling them as "abortion-inducing." But emergency contraception is, as the name suggests, simply contraception.  Contraception = preventing conception.  The primary mechanism of these drugs, like regular birth control pills, is simply to inhibit ovulation which would obviously prevent fertilization.  This may be confusing as many lack a fundamental understanding of how conception actually works and do not understand how a pill taken hours or even days after sex could possibly prevent conception.   And that's okay, you're not supposed to be an expert on these things unless you're a nerd (*cough* like me) who researches stuff like this.  However, that Hobby Lobby is either unaware or pretends to be unaware of the similarities between regular hormonal birth control pills and emergency birth control pills is irresponsible at best and dishonest at worst.

First, let's look at how normal hormonal contraceptives are designed to work, such as in the commonly used "Pill."  The combined pill is taken once daily: for the first 3 weeks a pill providing synthetic estrogen and progestin is taken; for the final week an inactive placebo pill is taken.   In oversimplified terms, during the first 3 weeks, the hormones in the Pill primarily work to prevent the ovulation process from taking place.  If the ovaries do not release an ovum (egg), then it is impossible to conceive. In the last week, the inactive pill serves no purpose other than to reinforce the daily habit of taking a pill.  During this time since she is no longer receiving any hormones, the woman sheds the uterine lining, like a normal menstrual period.

A second type of birth control pill is the progestin-only pill, also known as the mini pill.  Because it does not contain estrogen, it does not consistently prevent ovulation and relies more on thickening cervical mucous to prevent sperm from reaching an ovum.

During a woman's normal cycle (ie, when not using hormonal pills), the uterine lining begins slowly building up again after the end of menstruation.  This processed might be altered while taking hormonal pill; because of the synthetic hormones inhibiting the natural ovulation cycle, it is possible that the thickening process is affected resulting in a thinner endometrium (uterine lining).  This is only a problem if ovulation does take place (a greater possibility with the progestin-only pill), making conception possible.  If this happens, the fertilized egg (zygote) may reach the uterus to find the endometrium is not thick enough for successful implantation.   Many brand names like Alesse, Loestrin, Ortho-Cyclen, Yasmin, and Ortho Micronor clearly acknowledge this possibility in their drug facts.

But Hobby Lobby is not concerned about the possibility of these drugs interfering with implantation.  In a statement released by their attorney group in September 2012:
The Green family has no moral objection to the use of preventive contraceptives and will continue its longstanding practice of covering these preventive contraceptives for its employees.
In other words, the Hobby Lobby owners feel that regular hormonal pills, patches, implants, etc, are preventive contraceptives that raise no moral issues for them.

The statement continues by specifying which hormonal drugs that they do object to:
However, the Green family cannot provide or pay for two specific abortion-inducing drugs. These drugs are Plan B and Ella, the so-called morning-after pill and the week-after pill.
So let's look at the implied claim that these drugs are abortion-inducing in a way that regular hormonal contraceptives are not.  First, the Plan B pill: according to the manufacturer, Plan B works similarly to regular hormonal contraceptives.  How is this possible, since it is used after the fact?  The answer lies in the simple fact that conception can take place several days after sexual intercourse.  That's right, sperm can live in a woman's body for up to 5 days before actually fertilizing an ovum.  This is why the Plan B can be effective at preventing conception even taken 72 hours after intercourse.  Like regular contraceptive pills, the primary mechanism of Plan B is to inhibit ovulation.  It can also alter transport of sperm and/or ova in the fallopian tube prior to fertilization (this would decrease the likelihood of conception if ovulation does take place).

The charge of Plan B being an "abortion-inducing drug" seems to based on the drug's potential to thin the uterine lining, which could possibly interfere with implantation in the event of both ovulation and conception taking place.  Go back a few paragraphs...this is exactly what can happen with regular hormonal birth control too.  And breaking this down logically: taking a pill every day for 3 weeks that can interfere with your uterine lining is probably going to affect that lining a lot more than a pill you take once (or twice) mid-cycle.  At least a woman who is not on regular pills will have had her uterine lining thickening normally, without any hormonal interference, ever since the end of her last period.  Taking Plan B may affect its continuing thickening but will not have had any affect on the entirety of her cycle the way the daily Pill might.

The other pill mentioned in Hobby Lobby's statement is Ella, which is also a morning-after pill, not the "week-after pill" as they incorrectly suggest.  It can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse, while Plan B can be taken up to 3 days after intercourse.  Ella is a synthetic progesterone agonist/antagonist which is intended to either prevent or postpone ovulation.  It differs from other hormonal methods because in clinical trials, it was shown to be effective at delaying ovulation even once the ovulation process had started [for the nerds: it delays ovulation by 5-9 days even if the LH (lutenizing hormone) peak that triggers ovulation has taken place].   As with the other hormonal methods we've already examined, Ella can also have an affect on the thickness of the uterine lining and implantation.

The bottom line is, because both Plan B and Ella have the potential to thin the uterine lining and interfere with implantation, if their primary mechanism of preventing/delaying ovulation fails, it is perfectly reasonable for Hobby Lobby to have a moral objection to these drugs.  However, since regular hormonal birth control has just as great a (and perhaps even greater) chance of affecting the uterus and implantation, Hobby Lobby's position of support for regular hormonal contraceptive violates the very beliefs they are supposedly upholding.  It is strangely ironic that people will be turning out on January 5th to applaud Hobby Lobby for taking a stand against "abortion-inducing drugs" when the company has also inconsistently announced their financial support and moral approval of other drugs that are equally "abortion-inducing."

Devotion: Being Thankful, Not Just On Thanksgiving

Every Thanksgiving (and Christmas for that matter), each member of my family takes turns saying what we are thankful for. Of course, this is a great tradition. But why is it that we only think about what we're thankful for during the holidays? Instead of using this as a tradition, why not do this all throughout the year? I've found that living with a grateful heart makes life a whole lot easier. God continues to give us gifts throughout each day, so instead of complaining about what we don't have, why not look at what God has given us? Notice, these gifts aren't always in material form. Look outside of your window. God paints a sunrise for you every morning, a sunset every evening. Thanking Him even when things look rough brings out the beauty in life.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
~Philippians 4:8

If you can't be thankful for what you have, at least be thankful for what you don't have. Outlook always determines outcome.

I know that it's a little too early to be thinking about New Year's resolutions, but why not strive to be more thankful in 2011 instead of making it only an annual 'tradition'?

What are you thankful for?
Are there any special holiday traditions you and your family do each year to celebrate Thanksgiving/Christmas?

(PS: I will be holding a holiday giveaway in a few days. Be sure to keep checking my blog so you can enter for your chance to win a gift card to Barnes & Noble!)

  1. That is so true! Why only 1 day out of 365!? I totally agree with you! :) Great post!

  2. Very true!
    As for traditions...we always put up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving Day...or night I guess. ;) And since I have 3 siblings and we all like the chance to put the star on top we take turns every year. It's something we've done for as long as I can remember. I love it! :)

  3. Thanks for the comments!

    Katie: That's awesome! We usually put up our tree a little after Thanksgiving. We use an angel on top of our tree instead, but I've never put it up... I'm a little too short. =)

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

The End of the World

There are lots of people out there suggesting that it’s coming…oh, in about six years. Our friend the President of Iran wants it sooner, of course. But if not sooner in a fiery apocalypse with Iran, then why six years from now?

It seems the Mayans had two calendar systems that were highly intricate and accurate. One system calculated solstices and equinoxes for every year and season in the future. But it ends on December 21, 2012. No more Mayan time after that. Well, not quite. There are precious few Mayans to ask these days, but they probably believed that the world would be re-created, or Quetzalcoatl would return (a strangely Christ-like god who dies and lives and will return, whose blood gives life to the new generation). Hmm…

Then there is the scientist, R. Duncan. Simplifying his argument, we are already past the peak oil production and are now in decline. The years until 2012 will be marked with increasing economic depression, followed by catastrophe from 2012-2030. Modern civilization is at it’s peak.

And Christians, too, noting the “prophesies” of St. Malachy (does that sound alarmingly like “malarky” to you too?). In the 11th Century he supposedly made predictions of the last few popes before Christ returns. As it turns out, Benedict XVI is the second to last.

I’m Lutheran so I can’t help but ask, “What does this mean?”

1. We do live in grim times. 115 meaningless cable channels, shiny SUVs and hybrids too, new construction, ethanol plants, hardwood floors and modern healthcare may hide it, but we are in dark days. We saw it around these parts in April 1995. The rest of the country saw it in 2001, if only for a moment. And you feel it too. Everyone does. Look around at the new television shows. Listen to music.

2. No one knows the day or the hour. I can say for certain that the world will not end on December 21, 2012. Our Lord gave true prophesies about His return and the foolishness of trying to predict a certain day.

3. But the most dangerous game we can play is thinking, “No one knows when the world will end/when Jesus will return, so who cares? Besides, our “judgement day” will be the day we die, and we don’t know when that will happen either.” — This is exceptionally dangerous because of where it leads, the inevitable thought–”…and I feel pretty good now.”

Apparently this was the popular interpretation back in the day. I have one devoted, faithful member who constantly interjects whenever I mention Judgement Day. “But Pastor, when we die that’s judgement day for us, right?” Well, sure it is, I suppose. But that undermines the foundation of Christian living. Listen to the rest of that passage:

Matthew 24:36-39 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ” (ESV)

Elsewhere Jesus’ Word to us is “watch!” The coming Lord Jesus connects and sustains our Eucharist (see Schmemann). Watching, waiting, expecting is the Christian attitude.

When I hear that dear member say, “Well, Pastor, the last day is really…” I hear some foolish pastor in her past, whispering in her ear, “Don’t look for Jesus to return. Don’t look for the world to end. Everything will go on and on as it is.” Except that’s not the voice of a Christian shepherd, is it? We know who speaks like that and we have denounced him.

“Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.” (Matthew 24:44-46 ESV)

4. While no one will know the “day or the hour” Jesus also says watch–watch for the signs. “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. ” (Matthew 24:32-33 ESV) We will not know the day, but we certainly can see it approaching. Indeed, we ought to see it approaching no matter what day or age we live in. That Day of the Lord may indeed come in six years time.

Of course He may not wait until 2012. Or it may be 2112. In the meantime, what shall we do? Six years is not a lot of time to accomplish much. Should we already flee to the mountains (Luke 21:21)? Should we forget our 401k’s and give to the poor? Should we not make plans for tomorrow, knowing that our lives in this world may soon be snatched away from us?

Jesus says much about these issues. But here, let these words suffice: “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes” (Matt. 24:45-46 ESV). These words, spoken to the apostles about their work, also speak to us. When our Lord comes, let Him find us faithfully doing the tasks set out for us, living for the day, working while it is day, for the night will come when no one may work (John 9:4).

Report It

Report ItThe Burlington Police Department encourages all residents to use a free online system that will help keep track of valuable --- and invaluable --- personal property. ReportIt is a free, secure online service allowing citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics, and other valuables. Should those items ever be stolen, the Burlington Police Department says having this information will go a long way in accurately and quickly identifying your property. Residents can access the site at

“We’ve never had anything like ReportIt available to securely catalog this type of information online,” explains Crime Prevention Specialist, Greg Turner. “In case of theft, you’ll be able to tell our officers exactly what was stolen, and because the items can be more easily identified, there is a better chance for item recovery.”

Police Chief Jeffrey Smythe adds that “one of the greatest strengths of this program is that the registration is off site. If there is a fire or your laptop is stolen, you will still have access to important serial numbers, which is both a powerful safety measure and could help drastically with insurance claims.”

The ReportIt service is a part of LeadsOnline, the online system that works with police across the country to track and recover stolen property. The Burlington Police Department uses LeadsOnline to help track and recover stolen property ---- everything from jewelry to sporting equipment to electronics, computers, cameras, and other items such as designer clothing and collectibles. The system allows detectives to search for the items using a variety of parameters, including item descriptions and serial numbers.  When an item is sold to a pawn or secondhand shop, the product information is entered in the LeadsOnline database and is immediately viewable by participating law enforcement agencies across the country.

Residents can store an unlimited number of serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures, and scans of receipts so items may be more easily identified in the event of theft. This record may also come in handy when filing claims with insurance providers in the event of loss. Residents interested in participation in ReportIt can register for the free service at and begin building their personal property inventory list.

A source for stats on Afghanistan

For anyone with a bent for statistics, the Afghanistan Index: Tracking Variables of Reconstruction and Security in Post-9/11 Afghanistan, is a great resource. Published by the Brookings Institution, it contains detailed stats on security, governance and rule of law, economic and quality of life indicators and polling and public information.
It also complements similar sets of data for both Iraq and Pakistan.
So if you want to find out the cause of death of US troops in Afghanistan, annual recruitment figures for the Afghan Army, where Afghans choose to take different types of legal case, annual poppy cultivation, Afghanistan's rank in Transparency International's annual corruption perceptions index, annual inflation, the number of telephone users, the results of various public opinion surveys and a lot more besides, this is the place for you.

3D Maxillofacial Radiology

At ICOA we have the latest technology in the field of radiology CBCT,

the acquisition of images in 360 ° (each angle for a total of 360 °). It brings together revolutionary flat-panel X-ray detector technology with a small focal point (0.3 mm) to produce the clearest and sharpest images available today.

We performed orthopantomographies, cephalometry and teleradiographies of skull and carpal, 3D ATM exams; Examinations of the maxillary sinuses; CBCT mandibles of jaws. All the data (in DICOM format) we give them in a CD with a viewer so that they can consult it at home.

Cone Beam technology is an effective bone study instrument in which implants are to be implanted. Images obtained from a 3D volume can show anatomy and structural anomalies with unprecedented accuracy.
By offering 3D imaging, Cone Beam (CBCT) radiology is capable of producing various types of images for orthodontic and aesthetic treatments, as well as for treatment of more serious diseases, among other panoramic views, cephalograms and 3D images. The 3D image provides an exhaustive representation of the scanned area, allowing also to modify the viewing angle and modify the thickness of the reconstructed images.

But the best thing to know is that you come to visit us

Insane weekend wanna relax. May not exsist I really wish to be proven wrong!!! I don't think the woman I'm looking for exsists. Maybe I'm just too picky, but why shouldn't I be. Well anyway about me. First off I won't have my DL back for a while. I know alot ( not all) of the women in this valley can't handle this, whatever the reason may be. I am an avid cyclist so getting around isn't much of a problem. I'm not looking for a taxi driver. Two, I am a single dad. I also want more eren in the future. My Ex and her husband live together with myself for the well being of our son. He needs both his parents in his life every day!!! We all get along for the most part so there's very little drama do to the living arrangements. Three, cool chick for friend I can be brutally honest which can cause emotional discomfort. Also please no women who permanentlly live outside the USA. Ethnicity is not a problem just distance. And NO dating or age verification sites!! Been down that road before!!! I'll send a pic of my ID if your worried about age. If these are things you can't deal with I will not waste any more of your time. Thanks for reading up to this point. Hopefully your endeavors take you where you want to be and good luck we could use some. If you're still reading I may be in luck!!!! (Yay!!!). So now on with the personal stuff. I'm x ft. even, x lbs. got a little extra round the mid but trying to lose it. Blue eyes, long dark blonde hair and sometimes a beard depending on my mood. Somewhat atheltic, I like biking, swimming, rafting, hiking, snowboarding and more. Dancing is ok but not something I do a lot of. I do like to go out, movies, pool, bowling, just for the hell of it and do nothing. That's better to do with someone though. Inside I like to read, watch movies cuddled up on the couch, and just about any boardgame. I'm kind of a nerd ( by action not looks) I play MTG (a card game), video games and have a sarcastic sense of humor. I do have a full time job. Been working there for almost x years. It doesn't bring in a lot, but it makes ends meet. Now if you're still here someone must be smiling on me!! A little about you, attractive for chemistry is a must. Well proportioned and somewhat atheltic. Not looking for skeleton or a bbw. It's not said to be mean ( that honesty thing) it's just not what I want. I like to play and chase, Wife frist time threesome. Swinging. need a valentine hot guy visting to pick you up, to carry. Just a big kid at heart sometimes. Must like some of the activities but not have to all. Complete opposites attract but not normally for long. I'm looking for the package not just pieces. If I haven't affended you and you're still interested send an email with a little about you. Pic for pic and put your astrology sign or favorite color in the subject line to reduce bots and spam. I hope to hear from you soon. C. Need some girlfriends in my life . Older single seeking midget adult
