Any group that self-identifies as a group will have no quarrel with
being identified by others as such, right? Or is this a double
standard?
I see Pynchon's hypothesis at work here. Iraq is Israel's major
enemy. The US government has many people of fanatical, binary
religious beliefs (*) who are screaming for war. And are we asking
the right questions, or the wrong ones?
* - I postpone the debate of whether or not Christianity and Judaism
are inherently binary. The people in power practice these arts a
certain way. Some who are critical of dualism will note the inherent
binary tendencies of "good"/"evil" as used in the west; this wasn't
the case with the Greeks, for example.
To Keith, P Chevalier and MalignD:
If your personal taste conflicts with the issues at hand, you can
always unsubscribe. The petty personal attacks, illogical arguing and
ad hominem, etc. aren't fit for adults.
