Religion and history have very little to do with the religion of Bush or Ashcroft ( or Falwell, or Robertson, or Reed ). Theirs is a rhetorical religion, an emotional distillation of earlier systems that has even less to do with spiritual thought than its founding beverage. They attempt, sadly with a fair degree of success, to administer this drug and tap into a few very fundamental human behaviors with the express purpose of aquiring and exercising power. Any discussion of religion or history with those fascists is just falling for their diversion. While everyone goes chasing after the firetrucks those bastards are robbing the bank. The term 'bank' applies literally and figuratively. Funny, isn't it, how they are able to rob people of liberty and cash? Makes me vomit just to think of them. Excuse me, retcccchhh@hbfiobd#nbg$msopbm. Is 'pax vomitus' proper latin? Mike
