The Covid lockdowns are doing so much good it's eerie

Blue skies, fresh air, plummeted noise pollution, people learning to work from home, families spending time together -- the list of positive trends to emerge from the Covid lockdowns goes on and on. But will the benefits last after the lockdowns end? Aye, that's the question.

From The Associated Press yesterday: Bird-watching soals amid COVID-19 as Americans head outdoors.

    He wrote, "A century ago, anyone would have thought it absurd to talk about homosexual marriage. Today those who oppose it are excommunicated from society.

    Not only a threat to the Christian church but to all valid religions and a threat to human civilization as well -- indeed, a threat to humanity itself.

    The so-called 'liberal' democracies in the West have become anti-human.
