The end of the culture wars?

Radiofreeeuropa — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:47:28 EDT

Hot-button politics has turned out to be cumulatively disastrous for America. Politicians warred over narrow, symbolic issues while real problems that didn't fit the culture war paradigm - lack of access to healthcare, global warming, the US occupation of Iraq grew and festered. Have the electorate finally had enough of the BS?

Engaging Theism and Creationism

RickyDawkins — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:31:26 EDT

A scientific world-view entails atheism and thus contradicts Creationism. I am relatively sanguine when it comes to scientists who believe in God, as opposed to the much greater alarm I exhibit toward scientists who espouse Creationism. I believe that the battle against Creationism will be won, just as the battle against Geocentrism was won.

Momentum Building For Bugliosi's Case Against George W. Bush For Murder

jovial — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:28:27 EDT

For Vincent Bugliosi, one of America's foremost prosecutors and authors, George W. Bush's purposeful crime of misleading America into war is a vile, despicable and prosecutable act. It angers Bugliosi deeply. So much so that he's written a new book, "The Prosecution Of George W. Bush For Murder."
