re: #208 Charles

Where is that happening? Seriously, not a gotcha question. Because it’s not in this thread, so you must be thinking of somewhere else.

When the current political climate in this country is being rather often compared to a NonJudeo/Christian Theocracy, when the Right is rolled into the Religious Right and then lumped into Christian fundamentalism, and then thats used as some ridiculous portent of a new Dark Age complete with a new Inquisition, it sure looks like its happening. In contrast, I think the pendulum is swinging away from the few idiotic attempts at fundamentalist-based laws, and I have never felt we were on any sort of precipice or near any sort of abyss involving a slide into theocracy.
