The Party nominating conventions this year were watched by extremely large television audiences. But even with these large audiences, it’s hard to say which party gained the most from its convention.

If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.
Severn Suzuki gave this speech to the UN in 1992, aged 12. It’s so impassioned, so adult in its delivery, yet emphasises over and over that she is “just a child.” To think that so many years have passed and so little done to fix the problems she so clearly identified back then. […]

Jesus - Beyond Compare!
Hebrews 7:11 - 28
