<h1 style="text-align: center;">Scheduling Conflicts</h1>
<p>Host:  Stan Cox</p>
<p>In this episode Stan goes solo due to some self inflicted scheduling conflicts.  NOT LARRY&#8217;S FAULT.  Of course, Larry did say that Stan couldn&#8217;t talk about Steroids this week, so we have saved that for Episode 21!</p>
<p>What Stan did talk about was the increasing prejudice against conviction and Ideals.  Our secular society has chosen Pragmatism over Idealism.  While some may say this is necessary to &#8220;get things done&#8221;, it comes at a high price.  It has banished men and women of good conviction and sound morals out of national office, to be replaced by candidates who rule by the latest poll.  I guess you could call the entire program one big RANT, so I guess you aren&#8217;t particularly surprised.<span id="more-56"></span></p>

<p><![endif]--> The one thing America can&#8217;t tolerate is someone with conviction.  Someone who has the audacity to claim a difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and the backbone to make such principals the basis of action and policy.  The gradual decay of society, if left unchecked, may bring about the demise of our good country.<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090214/ap_on_go_co/congress_stimulus_495" target="_blank"></a></li>
<li><strong>Stan&#8217;s Website Review: </strong>This week Stan came across a website sponsored by Hewlett Packard called <a href="http://marketsplash.com" target="_blank">Marketsplash</a>. It is a commercial site that allows you to order such things as postcards, rubber stamps, stationery and promotional items.  It also allows you to order 100 business cards, using the multitude of designs, logos and graphics, for free.  Not only are the cards free, the shipping is too!  Did I mention, they are free?!</li>
