Hi Keith, ja to all, but I was thinking in terms of the here and now.  We in the USA are in the midst of a culture war not seen since the days of the Vietnam war, where opposing sides had a vastly different vision of the future and our purpose in this life.  I am thinking of the current culture war in terms of the two bins (spawners and non-spawners) reaching into each other's bins.
