Let's see - going in order: Thank you! You are most welcome - just doing what I can to raise awareness.
And yes, the connection of big business and corporate mentality with the religious and conservative 'zeitgeist' is trouble. It's bad enough when corporate America can convince us Turkeys to vote in favor of Thanksgiving, but when they can somehow make it part and parcel of religion? Yikes! I am utterly convinced that this is one element of a neo-medievalist trend. The very few will control wealth, technology, and information, while the masses are kept poor, powerless and ignorant (literally in the dark). All this, accomplished with the help of a fervent and paranoid religiosity to keep their eyes focused on the next life, land deeply suspicious of anyone who says it shouldn't be that way.
Lastly, I see it, too. I am happy to see the wide response to the crap in Wisconsin, but it's nowhere near enough....
