If you get a chance, please watch the excellent PBS series, God in America...

[WCGreen]

It really explains the rise and fall of the zealots in this country and why we will probably never be free from them...

It's six hours long and narrated by Campbell Scott, George C.'s son.

It really goes into how intertwined the divine mission of this country by half the people who came to this country has always been and probably always will be an historic given.

It goes through the ebbs and flows of religions importance to the national agenda.

Pick it up at the library or tape it the next time it shows up on PBS.

It is neither judgmental nor fawning, presenting the religious history of the United States...

from...

One of the best ways to counter a rhetorical enemy is to learn as much as you can about that enemy.

Do people still tape things?

4. I grew up when VCR's were magical devises...

So I still "tape" things...

but I haven't "taped" anything in many years.
