Hi Rog,
A response in this thread urged not to take too seriously the perceived
regression of the US.
Your post here reminds me that i had a similar feeling as that which you
express regarding the make up of the US itself?
There are US citizens who appear to forget, or over simplify the staggering
variety of the federation?
The 50 states are rather like 50 countries; each has its own cultural flavour
and a white middle class male demographic tends to gloss over this?
There are areas of the federation that are moving rapidly towards an ever
extreme religious fundamentalism, and there is a resulting pressure upon
federal government to accommodate it in the name of individual freedom.
I feel the source of this move may be a growing insecurity regarding the
diminishing power base of said white middle class males?
The biblical God is patriarchal in tone and the subjugation of women
explicit.
Disgusting and offense to those of a free thinking nature i venture to
suggest?
All the best,
Squonk.
