Just so you know, not all of Texas is craven. I think the cities that are primarily democratic are good places - especially the one I live in. I'm sure oil money has a lot to do with our problems as a state. Any state that's run by the morbidly rich will be in trouble.

I know there are literally millions of good men women and children in Texas, but the oil money and political leadership capture of the State are craven bedfellows. That is what I referred to, not the citizens of Texas, my apologies for any discomfort.

No problem. I agree with you about oil money and political leadership. I'm sure the latter was bought by the former, and clearly they have no moral conscience. I am grateful to live in a place where such people do not occur in significant numbers.

Greed. Greed justified by that good ole time religion.

The old time religion is what?

Any and all orthodox religious sects that force their mythologies on others, promote racism, sexism and all bigotry. These sects seem to be most typical in the Abrahamic religions but as India is now showing exists with Hindus and Sri Lanka even with Buddhists. All religions can be and are being corrupted.

IтАЩll just go back to the Temple of Inanna and rest.

It's been obvious for quite a while that Christianity and Islam have been badly corrupted. It makes me sick to see the way people can't see the truth, even though it's right in front of them if they read the Bible or the Koran. I hope you enjoy your rest!

Paraphrasing Bertrand RusselтАФAtheism is what happens to people when one reads the Bible, christianity is what happens when others read it to them.
