Thread Name: BS: Resolving the Clash of Civilizations
Subject: RE: BS: Resolving the Clash of Civilizations
If a) all grievances are caused by governments, and b) these grievances will be corrected by people acting under the influence of the Truth, and also c) The Internet conveys Truth, then it follows that d) the Internet has the power to correct all grievances. I have a problem with all of these assumptions but primarily C. It seems to me that there is a vast and varied amount of untruth transmitted via the Internet.

I would like to believe that people, when they understand what "right action" is, will pursue that course in the interest of themselves and others,Carol. But the persistance of wrong action in the face of truth (melting polar ice caps, anyone?) continues to astonish me.
