Hah, I am tempted to assent to your first sentence, but it’s because of people who share your misunderstandings. :( That temptation I feel bad about, and I do think the mutual refusal to admit similarly fanciful teleology will continue to worsen until our respective political leaders set better examples for us. In the mean time, I’ll continue to have productive discussions and affect legislation and policy alongside people with which I both disagree and agree, hoping that the productive attitude will affect levels above my influence until enough of us change federal government. Wishing you’ll do the same.
