Ted, lots of good stuff in your post, so you'll have to excuse me if I only respond to one part of it: Its because we think very differently.........I would say we are even wired differently. That should be expected. Most of us are good at some things but not in others. For example, I'm a natural when it comes to math, science, and left-brained thinking, but when it comes to reading people and judging character, I'm extremely slow. So there are some things which I'm going to be an expert in, and other things which I really ought to defer to the opinions of others. I think those differences in the past have been a good thing so long as one group didn't gain supremacy over the other. However, 9/11 changed all that.......and now the two different POVs are not in any kind of balance. I not sure that's correct but that's my take on why the problem is worsening. I take a longer-term view of the problem. 9/11 is a significant event, but the ideological war still predates it. Only the stakes are higher now because of these circumstances. By the way, I don't share your view that one group of ideas are gaining "supremacy" over the other. Maybe in our three branches of the federal government, but as you know the people there come and go like the wind. Even Bush will be gone before you know it. Tenchusatsu
