re: #240 Obdicut
Again, since I don’t think we’re really talking about a religious trend— nor do I agree that either religious, political, or climactic trends necessarily need a longer period than ten years, that’s kinda moot.
But even if we just take 1999: Since 1999, we have seen an increase in the push for creationism in the classroom, anti-abortion laws, anti-AGW attitudes, et al., all from conservative Christians.
that’s fine. i disagree that noteworthy trends as a rule can be properly identified, in religious, political or climactic trends, with only ten years or less as context.
so that explains why we disagree. no problem. i agree to disagree. and this Bombay is hitting the spot…
