One of the cute things about the article is the picture at the top. When I looked at it whilst starting to read it I just looked like a kewl illustration that someone had just whipped up. Later I realized that it is a crop job of American Gothic painting (farmer w/ pitchfork & wife in front of farmhaus; Grant Wood 1930, Oil on "beaverboard") that most americans have seen at least once in their lives.
I agree with the closed thoughts and open face prescription of the author. Just the other week I heard two of my cow orkers saying that if all the non "god-fearing" people in america just went somewhere else, everything would be just fine. I suspect that I would qualify as non "god-fearing" cause I haven't been to a set foot in a church in about five years (quaker meeting - N of dupont cir washington DC - waykewl even if you're not a quaker or even a christian). I was so tempted to say "ok you're on, I'm moving to Holland" and leave. I suspect that that would have been the start of no end of dischord had I chose to go back.
