I also enjoyed this article, it was a good read, and there were a couple of paragraphs in particular that I felt were truly on the mark and informative. I don't add favorites very often, but I'll add this entry beause it's thought provoking.
Perhaps the worst thing in human civilization is the need to group together against another group. People like conflict, and in this country especially I've noticed people like to feel better somehow. Be it moral or intellectual superiority, in the end it's the same feelings, just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Ironic and sad, really...
I don't like politics and religion simply because people get caught up in their ideology and forget to look at people as simply people.
I'm going to ignore the whole ZOMG LJ CUT!!!!!1111!! thing except to say that the thread was quite entertaining. Good show, y'all, fight the good fight and all :o
Some good thoughts
