This is a guest post by Dennis Teall-Fleming: We look back on historical epochs and give them names, usually described by the things we humans make during that period. Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age, Nuclear Age … Guess what they’ll call the past hundred years in a millennia or two? The Plastic Age! Yea, [...]

No, I don’t believe Barack Obama is the messiah, despite that accusation coming from my evangelical-Anabaptist and straight-up Republican friends.
