Yes, you can come up with thousands of 'if'scenarios. I want
reasons that exist right now. bill w<br>

<p><br>
The conflict between the two main world-views characterised by
(mainly, but not exclusively, and not strictly) these words:<br>
<br>
Progressive, libertarian (as in "Social Libertarian" rather than
the economic type. (I know that's a problematic word for
americans)), pro-rationality, anti-superstition, curious,
optimistic, tolerant, supportive of individual freedom of choice,
happy.<br>
<br>
vs.<br>
<br>
Conservative, controlling, pro-superstition, anti-rationality,
unquestioning, pessimistic, intolerant, dismissive of individual
freedom of choice, angry.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I can't really see any compromise or common ground between these
two general world-views, so they are, and probably always will be,
at war. What form the war takes, though, is something that changes
all the time. I don't think it will lead to a shooting war. At
least not very often.<br>
