Dear Irenaeus - thanks for this posting; it's most interesting and I shall try to follow the unfolding story. As of now, though, I still hope to vote for Hilary Clinton.

An interesting article on Sam Brownback [rollingstone.com] in Rolling Stone. I personally find him to be one of the scariest men in politics today. There are so many parellels between his type of religion and that of the Taliban or the Iranian fundamentalists.

"In his dream America, the one he believes both the Bible and the Constitution promise, the state will simply wither away."

The withering away of the State? I thought that was Marx and Lenin!
