Politics

[gothwalk]

There are a few political things I sort-of want to post about. But mainly what it comes down to is pointing at Bush, and asking, "Will someone explain to that idiot, again, about the separation of church and state?" When there's an international conference, and the US position is agreed on by one single other representative, and that's the Vatican, is this not a clear signal that there is something seriously wrong? While I disagree with many things that Bush is pushing (or that other elements of his administration are pushing), it's his extension into international politics of his own personal insistence on abstinence over contraception that I find to be most reprehensible.

I find it hard to call any suingle thing there the most reprehensible. And talking to people like Arthur and Alistair i am really getting a feeling of "Planet USA" here. Like a set of values and thinking that is so alien to us. The interesting part is that it is self-defeating. because they stifle crticial thinking. Be it in Science - where they are failing dismally so far - or in the CIA where the critical thinkers are leaving. This kind of thing tends to backfire

am nearly tempte to wish them another 20 years of anti-modern governments, they would be much less of a problem.
