Strong work ethic, a flexible and enduring legal code, a humble and honest populace, emphasis on the family, and universal resolve to defend the homeland.
I have slowly shifted toward the pacifist's position that there is no just cause for going to war (especially from the point of view of Jesus). Jesus would prefer us to surrender to our enemies and be patient until the He returns to put our enemies under our feet. Having said that, I totally understand why going to war can be a necessity. To save those we love and the way of life we hold dear, is always a “rational” reason to go to war. But as a Christian, there is nothing in this current world that trumps God's word to love our enemies and consider no flesh and blood an enemy at all. I know this is a hard thing to follow, but even when men win wars, they have already lost a portion of their souls in the victory. When a person kills their fellow man, he kills a portion of himself in the deed. I just long for the day when man makes war no more.

Well I guess the Petrus Romanus prophecy wasn't fulfilled. So doom off for now. I hope this guy is a good Pope. He didn't want the job so that probably means he will do great.
The best way to make money on a website is to provide content worth subscribing to or to offer something people will make donations for. Otherwise you have to get lucky and create a site that generates a ton of traffic that will entice others to want to advertise on your site.
