Hi Ed. You write: >I suspect that when a person loses his pension, his job, and his house, >and food costs rise out of sight because of high energy costs, he will >be so pissed that gay rights, abortion, and other religious issues will >become much less important.
And you would be entirely wrong. In fact, as more people are driven into poverty by these issues, greater support for more irrational and fanatical opinions will accrue. Even a cursory study of history will prove my point. While I have great respect for your grasp of electrochemistry ( a subject near and dear to my heart ) your understanding of the human heart is meagre at best. Google "denial and projection" for more information from the great Noodle AI, or just read some of Thomas's posts for terrific object lessons. Speaking of which; if only you would spend 1/4 of your time posting about your research that you spend in pointless argument with Thomas, we'd all be a lot better off. Just a suggestion. K.
