[Rhodes22-list] Politics -Gross Pictures of Iraq War

[brad haslett]

Stan,

Here's an article you may find interesting regarding
religion and politics.  I especially like the
following quote, "Of course, I would prefer that only
secular humanists and believers in Darwin had been in
the front line against first fascism and then
Stalinism and now Islamic nihilism but one can't have
everything".

Like you, I try and stay out of arguments that involve
things I can't taste, see, or feel.  Others apparently
do however and being tolerant is only polite.

I like your new label "enlightened capitalist" so much
I think I'll use it myself.  Might want to copyright
it if you don't want it abused.


Here's the whole article.

BTW, Hitchens is a critic of Bush.
