This is more than a spiritual war, Luce said. It's a culture war. 
Military metaphors abound in Luce's descriptions of the struggle. He
tells young people of how an enemy has launched a brutal attack on
them. At a pre-Battle Cry rally Friday afternoon on the steps of City
Hall, Luce told his mostly teenage audience that terrorists of a
different kind -- -- were targeting them and that they were caught in
the middle of the battle. 


--
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary,
in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether
hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the
very definition of tyranny.
-- James Madison

A woman at our church (Bay Area, Methodist: about as far from the  
wingnut

extreme as you can get outside of a UCC congregation) told me that her
daughter's friend -- an otherwise reasonable girl -- was caught up in
this Teen Mania thing.
