Duane Gran’s log of thoughts

On this day 491 years ago Martin Luther posted his 95 thesis as a challenge to the excesses of his day and opened the doors to mass schism. He could have been a renown reformer in the church, but the legacy today is nearly 30,000 protestant denominations.

I used to think of it as a bold and appropriate move but increasingly I see the protestant revolution in problematic terms. As I research more tenants of early Christianity they increasingly mirror the tradition and ethos of modern Catholicism.

An explanation from a well-read Libertarian is the best summary I’ve seen of how the markets have become so volatile and why the government bail out is the wrong answer.
