Core blimey mate, didn't know I had to pass your litmus test?

>"But we have to disavow the fanatics, whatever their nominal politics, or religion."

I agree. They must be stopped in their attempt to destroy American institutions that so many Americans have fought and died to protect. Institutions that include public education.

>" Unfortunately, history tells us that many, if not most, of the religious bigots and borderline terrorists are citizens already. We need to work on this issue..."

Again we are in agreement. Part of the vision of making this work is to improve public education to provide an educated citizenry that is inclusive as opposed to the phony choice that elitist vouchers give.

>"For the rest of us, let's be inclusive Americans, or Australians, or even Human Beings, and recognise that heaven is other people... "

This is a pleasant thought and worthwhile aspiration although the heaven part is vague.
