Politics was K/E and tort reform

And I will take the trial lawyers over the religious right!

The trial lawyers may make my business practice tough.

But the religious right (claiming to be christian in THIS country) is truly as fanatic and any fanatic religious group tromps on human dignity and personal choice over many many issues.

Throughout human history religious fanatics have mostly made women's lives cages without freedom.

I may not like everything about K/E - but Bush/Cheney and comapany are well on the way to making this country fascist.

Common threads in the fascist regimes of recent history are:

1.Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism 2.Disdain for the importance of human rights 3.Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 4.The supremacy of the military/avid militarism 5.Rampant sexism 6.A controlled mass media 7.Obsession with national security 8.Religion and ruling elite tied together 9.Power of corporations protected 10.Power of labor suppressed or eliminated 11.Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts 12.Obsession with crime and punishment 13.Rampant cronyism and corruption 14.Fraudulent elections

So ... we shall see where things go this November.
