Frequent worshippers tend to cast GOP vote
How much of this has to do with mannerisms, tone of voice and speaking/preaching style?
I've ordered two books by Noam Chomsky, whom I respect as a linguist, who seems to have done some work on this politics/control area.
I also ordered the 9/11 Commission report (only $8, very readable) , which, I am gratified to see, appears to make the assertion that the terrorist problem is not a nationalist situation, and conventional war is an inappropriate means to deal with the problem.
That's a lot of reading to do.
I'm also working on Deus, Deus meus, respice (Psalm 22) from Palm Sunday. What a compelling, haunting, piece of prayer. It seems to fit the subject matter of our times, doesn't it? I keep thinking of people caught in our military and money-flow horrors.
