This is vital stuff as we all live in the brave-new-world. I was aware of
the Christian fundies in the Administration. In combination with the huge
Zionist influence and the energy/economy lobby we have the troika
responsible for the decline in USAnian support.
As you say, the US has a lot going for it, it just needs to free itself
from decades of manufactured delusions of grandeur.
