Very astute observations.
Is there still hope? Or is it too late?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Get your wallet out!
Maybe it is too late!?
Thanks, well there is always hope.
No doubt the pendulum will eventually swing back to rationalism, slowly, over generations simply left to its own devices.
Otherwise it requires a major shock to the system to break the stranglehold of a particular regime.
Maybe Afghanistan is the warning shot that such a shock is coming?
We had similar shocks last century that brought down the certainties and self belief of the Victorian age.
Sadly we remember them as WW1 and WW2!
