"The Must Do List"
The list outlines some of the stuff that gets to me, all in convenient list form. I think America's patriotism-identity is founded on an assumption that we are basically good. History of course shows that that assumption is not always safe (just look into Guatemala or Cuba for starters if you have doubts). But the current tactics by our government are pretty much evil. Remember when we were the good guys because the Soviet Union was documentably evil and even if we were not perfect, at least we better than that? That was nice.
It is an opinion article and some of the potential of the article maybe gets hampered in partisanship. One can let the accusation speak for itself without saying (and I paraphrase) "Bush has shown himself untrustworth of exectutive power let along MORE executive power." But when one set of partisans starts looking like apologists for evil, I'll be an apologist for slipping into partisanship.
"Darwin's God"
This is a long article that explores evolutionary explanations for why people (most all people, most everywhere) believe in God or stuff with God-attributes.
Happy wishes for you all and with good dashes of hardship to make the happiness happier.
