I'm pleased to see that Tom Delay has been indicted on conspiracy charges here in Travis County. I do think that corporate money in politics is really detrimental to democracy. Vast amounts enter our political system legally, so when folks like the bugman bend the rules, they should be thrown against the wall. I'm sure a lot of folks in Texas think different.
My landlord has a sticker on his truck that reads, "I believe in God, President Bush, and Texas Longhorns," which I find a little frightening as a left-leaning Oklahoma Sooners fan. Do UT fans really believe that God is on the side of their football team? According to a post at Sivacracy, this might be a good thing for the Sooner-born; a new study suggests fervent belief in religion can actually have a negative affect on society. Maybe that explains why the folks in Sugar Land can elect a creep like Delay.
You needed a study to tell you that religious fanaticism / fundamentalism is bad for society?
How about just read a history textbook?
Or a newspaper?
If you were from Texas, you'd know that football IS religion.
