Dr. Brin, good article. But you say that the Fundamentalists are promised the Supreme Court, and then say that all three groups have gotten their reward, but demand more (their in-'satiability' as you put it.). Now, I don't recall any Supreme Court nominations in the past four years, so isn't it a tad inaccurate to say so? Also, you *could* recouncile the neo-cons and the Left Behinders if you push Judgement Day far off enough into the future. After all, you don't need eternity to build a star-going empire led by philospher-kings, just a large but finite amount of time. Of course, it does seem a little pointless if God is going to come and make everything way better than mere humanity ever could. And also, I notice you reference the excerpt 'The Philospher of Islamic Terror', but not teh Book (Terror and Liberalism). Why's that? The book is well worth reading too. ~Maru >From: "d.brin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
