Producer's Desk — children
What is “The Producer’s Desk”?
As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.
Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)
We hope you enjoy!

“Children First” column for the Wall Street Journal
posted by Richard Land on 05.02.2008
Topics: abuse, children, religious freedom
My latest column, written for The Wall Street Journal:
Excerpt:
“The removal of 462 children from the FLDS polygamist sect’s… ranch in Eldorado, Texas…has raised important questions about separation of church and state and the First Amendment’s “free exercise” protections.
Americans believe fervently in the “unalienable” right to the “free exercise” of religious faith without interference from government. However, we also have a deep-seated interest in protecting children from abuse.
What should Americans make of all this? How do we respect religious freedom while protecting children?”

More evidence: Why conservatives are happier than liberals
posted by Richard Land on 04.07.2008
Topics: children, conservatism, economy, politics
The Economist reports on Arthur Brook’s latest publication, Gross National Happiness
“When researchers ask parents what they enjoy, it turns out that they prefer almost anything to looking after their children… Despite this, American parents are much more likely to be happy than non-parents. This is for two reasons, argues Mr. Brooks, an economist at Syracuse University. Even if children are irksome now, they lend meaning to life in the long term. And the kind of people who are happy are also more likely to have children. Which leads on to Mr Brooks’s most controversial finding: in America, conservatives are happier than liberals. “

Blog post: Spirituality and happiness: are they connected?
posted by Richard Land on 04.04.2008
Topics: children, religion, spirituality
My latest post at Casting Stones:
Excerpt: “While numerous studies have shown the positive impact of spirituality on adults’ mental and physical well-being, the Canadian researchers expected less impact on children. Dr. Holder said that they found that “it’s a whopping big effect… I thought their spirituality would be too immature to account for their well-being.”
