The new religious right is waiting for the Rapture, they don't have to worry about those problems and feel those who do are mostly non-Christian tree-huggers. It often seems the new religious right is intent on making things worse to push forward the Rapture. I went to WalMart the other day. Book section was filled with "last days" fiction and non-fiction including children's section. The small science fiction and fantasy section filled with TV and movie related and many copies of the latest volumes in that fantasy mega-volume Jordanousity. At home was looking at the science fiction I really liked in the last two-three years that is cutting edge - 75% was from outside the U.S. The U.S. is not a forward looking society anymore. Even the fantasy I liked is coming from the UK. Gary Denton _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
