Jeff: More on this: >>FT -- I seem to remember the State being far more intrusive in the paranoia-ridden 50s. Those who didn't go along with the program then were reported by "patriotic Americans" (often in the pay of various gov't or quasi-gov't agencies), investigated by right-wing crackpots, hounded out of jobs, homes and schools, etc. This stuff happened, and not "just" to Communists, leftists, or others whose persecution was officially condoned. You must have some memory of this.<< Yes, the paronia was deep then. There was a communist under every tree (and an FBI Agent under every sewer lid). But the philosophical rot now permeated by the government -- at all levels -- and the schools, and the media is mystic-collectivistic, anti-American claptrap. Communism's threat was really only nuclear-tipped. That ideology would have a hard time in America. The real internal threat to this country has almost always been from fascism in a fairly virulent form. Father Terrence
