Yes, precisely! I write elsewhere about the fantastic consensus to reject racism and sexism that has transformed this country... and our progress in other matters like the environment. The liberals are loony to use guilt=tripping (which only makes them unliked) when there is so much to PRAISE. http://www.davidbrin.com/progressparadoxarticle.html But Gautam, the divisiveness is there. It is generated by those who desperately need and want a culture war. Bush said in the debates "I don't see any more divisiveness than in 2000, both were bad... maybe its the times we're in." No, W. The one thing that both elections had in common was.... you. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
