Public Education Unsafe?

"In many places it is literally not safe physically for youngsters to go to school. And in many schools - and it is almost becoming generally true - it is spiritually unsafe to attend public schools."

- Elder Boyd K. Packer, David O. McKay Symposium, Brigham Young University, Oct. 9, 1996

The Saints and Prosperity

Brigham Young conversed freely on the situation of the Saints in the mountains, and said that he dreaded the time when the sants would become popular with the world: for he had seen in sorrow, in a dream, or in dreams, this people clothed in the fashions of Babylon and drinking in the spirit of Babylon until on could hardly tell a saint from a black-leg.

Middle East Conflict

This is a quote from a book I'm reading titled Awakening to our Awful Situation:

"Another vies is expressed by Joel Skousen in his highly informative World Affairs Brief (www.worldaffairsbrief.com). His feeling is that the United States is intentionally intervening in the Middle East; not to establish democracy but to creat an image of America as the bully of the world-much more apparent to foreign nations who are not subject to regulated American media control. Such provoked antagonism towards the U.S. is not accidental but intentional and will be the basis for a justified retaliation against the United States by Russia and China in a third world war. This in intended to force the New World Order upon the entire world. The U.S. is intended to be the target of a preemptive nuclear stike so as to remove the military power of the United States from the world stage, forcing the world to give power to the United Nations to fight World War 3. When one realizes that those in control support all sides that enter wars and can withdraw their support at any time, the magnitude of this observation can be better understood."
