Presumption about my perspectives aside, disagreement is worthy of discussion. Insult is not necessary. That's all I've ever asked for.

Here's an interesting recent interview with a Nobel Peace Prize winner who seems to meet all Collin's criteria for an America-hater: http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/story.jsp?story=503708 -- Cheers, Bob "The fundamentalist Christian Right is America's Taliban. With the exception of the burqa (and even that, one feels, is missing only because St Paul forgot to mention it) all the ingredients are there: slavish adherence to a misunderstood old text; hatred of women, modernity, rival religions, science and pleasure; love of punishment, bullying, narrow-minded, bossy interference in every aspect of life. The Religious Right represents organized ignorance, organized bigotry, organized nastiness - and these people are on their way to taking over the Republican Party. Not least, the book persuaded me how muddled the fundamentalists are. They think they are patriots, yet they fight the letter of the Constitution and the spirit of the Founding Fathers every step of the way. The Religious Right is, in the deepest and truest sense of the word, un-American." -- from a book review by Richard Dawkins -----------------------------------------------------
