What the h*ll has happened to America?

History has become what we want it to be. Religion has become defined by not the faithful but the frightful fringe. What happened to the Classics that taught people to think in a logical manner and to separate the system of governement from a system of belief alone?

We have spent the past 8 years dealing with the results of theocratic mindlessness that is perpetuated by terror and fear. Why do we now think the answer is another theocratic mindlessness? I am not speaking of the faithful who live their lives by faith, set an example as it were, but are strong enough in their faith to allow you your faith…or none at all. I am speaking of the fanatics of all religions who feel that they must impose thier set of beliefs on all of us. They have a say in how government should work, but no more then that…their say, not mine.

Everything has consequences.
