....and farmers are cereal killers.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll have someone smack me.




Rabbit:

I agree with you whole-heartedly on this one. There is some kind of basic disconnect with reality in that mode of thinking.


Aenlic:

I have little respect for anarchy as a political model, viewing it as eminently impractical. An a-governmental communal sharing model of society is far too "theoretical" to actually work.

I would also caution you to be careful about accidently lumping in all who hold religious beliefs with fanatics of various stripes. I think you were noting that fanaticism can lead to total close-mindedness and amorality -- a concern with which I concur -- but some of your phrasing seemed to imply that all religious belief was a form of fanaticism, which is not a valid claim.
