Isherwood comes closest to reality!
Just because someone disagrees with your point of view you can't logically generalize that all others who might have the same views are flawed and have the same religious or non religious beliefs. It does not make sense?
None of us hew a straight path on all the issues. We agree with some and disagree with some. If we agree with Bush we don't automatically become part of the religious right? If we agree Clinton was a moral disaster for this country we dont necessarily have to be a rightist God fearing person.
I think PH is caught up in the frenetic political discourse we currently see in the USA. The Democrats have been out of power for so many years they are striking out critically at almost any attempt by the Republicans to better our lot. Good example is the social security initiative which the democrats have all but killed even though it addressed a problem that will arise in a few years.
The Iraq invasion has been a real good "strawman" which can be used to attack> Seems to me when this stuff gets so intense we rarely get anything done! And the nation suffers!

Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us. Last edited by xyzer; Oct 8, 2005 at 03:43 pm.
