at the same time, the era of theocracy is starting in the US, with a president who invokes his god if there's a hat dropping anywhere in the world, "faith-based initiatives," and the wrecking of government schools (etc.) so that religious groups have to step in to fill the gap...
hopefully, the non-evangelicals will counteract the fundies...
BTW, I wish that people wouldn't attack this fellow Zizek as a way to attack other people on pen-l. This Aesopian way of writing produces such bizarre events as when I criticized Stalin a month or so ago and discovered that a pen-ler interpreted this as an attack on _him_!
It also encourages me to read Zizek, to see what the hullabaloo is about.
