"When Americans get scared, they seem to revert back to conservatism. Conservatism is easy. It doesn’t challenge the mind in a lot of ways." Conservatism is not easy if you are a thinking person. It forces the mind to stand still, reverse course, and reject all knowledge acquired in order to maintain an un-natural position, a constant resistance toward forward motion.

That is disgusting; yet, I know with all my being that is choice. Choice to be left behind. Choice to be passed by. And ultimately, the choice to "be scared". Fear does nothing but weaken the spirit and prepare the soul for domination. Not this Texan... ~k If it is possible to be heard over the deafening applause, may I please say: As a native Texan, although recently relocated to VA, I resent the stereotype that intelligence, rational thought, and intellectual vigor is predicated on some geographical point of origin.
