NEW VOCABULARY OF THE DAY: "Now look at some of the unimpeachable beliefs of the anti-war fundamentalists...war is always wrong, this war is only about oil, the United States is a bad country. You cannot argue with these beliefs because they are a matter of Faith. No matter how much real evidence there is to the contrary, you will not convince many anti-war fundamentalists to change their mind. If you are interested, they have plenty of "facts" to back up their beliefs, but these "facts" are very dubious and generally only work to re-assure the true believers." -Mike Silverman, drawing a convincing parellel between religious fundamentalism and the new scourge of "anti-war fundamentalism."
