Heavy Things Lightly What's Happening with Foreign Aid?
Foreign aid...what's it really? Did George Washington have a foreign aid policy? And is it only about sending aid overseas, or is there an element of receiving as well? Or is it all about making lots of money? Heer's takes a quick look at what aid is and how it's delivered.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
