What is influencing thought?

One of the great things about freedom of the press is that anyone can find a forum to express almost any point of view. But to reach well-reasoned, educated conclusions, a discerning public must sift through the hundreds of thousands of words and images pouring forth every day through the airwaves and in print. It's daunting.

That's why, in today's complex, interrelated world, when answers don't always seem clear-cut and unambiguous, it's crucial to find a solid foundation that doesn't shift with every new situation. Everyone needs a resource that's based on unvarying principles that will guide individual decision-making, and thereby the direction of nations.
