You'll have to ask Min why we are in such bad straights politically, he's the historian here. The eagerness of the republican party to become the government in order to destroy/'renew' the government, to side with the 1% and to arm every imbecile and nut job .. not to mention their unwillingness to abide by any sustainable principle when not in power isn't rational. It is pure self destruction .. maybe you have to be creatard with a hunch about the end days to support them.
We're the most backward religiously because we were an escape valve for all the most extreme groups that no one wanted in Europe. (Thanks .. though I know you personally weren't there.)
