I have come up with terms like <A HREF="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%22Robin+Edgar%22+and+TOTALITARIAN+UNITARIANS.+.+.&btnG=Google+Search&meta=" REL="nofollow">TOTALITARIAN UNITARIANS</A>, the <A HREF="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%22Robin+Edgar%22+and+the+%22IMMORAL+MAJORITY%22.+.+.&meta=" REL="nofollow">IMMORAL MAJORITY</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22Robin%20Edgar%22%20and%20an%20%22UNSAFE%20SECT%22.%20.%20.&sa=N&tab=gw" REL="nofollow">UNSAFE SECT</A>.

A chariacture of something that *does* exists. While we may joke about the "Unitarian jihad", there is militance in the cultural left (ala Dawkins, etc.) that gives a certain justification to these stories.<BR/>On the otherhand, similar stories like Atwood's The Handmaids Tale, have a relevance due to the existance of the Dominionists, etc.<BR/>hese types of stories have a role in our society - not as a blueprint, but as a warning that the 98% of us who are not militants on the cultural left or right would do well to heed.David Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930935273218681703noreply@blogger.com
