    Throwing Victimhood in the Trash0

    We can trace our American penchant for victimhood back decades. Consider the 1957 musical “West Side Story,” which features two New York City gangs, the Sharks and the Jets, warring with each other.

    Three Ways We ‘Screwtape’ Our Families0

    The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is quite possibly one of the scariest books I’ve ever read. Not that it’s at all “scary” in the typical sense of the word.
