Ummm...3refs...type slower and say what you mean in fewer words.

You ask: "Is there a place, or should there be a place , or could there be a place(?) where "like minded people" could go, live as they wish with their customs and beliefs, but still be part of this new global family. "

If I understand the point correctly, they CAN right now. People in Texas...or anywhere else in the US (I'm not sure about Canada) can believe, worship, comb their hair and eat pie, any way they choose, as long as they don't demand that their neighbors do the same. In this case in Texas, they are warping the school curriculum for everyone to suit their own **subjective** beliefs.

"Live as they wish" shouldn't mean have a rigid, one-rule-fits-all society....the world is too crowded & complicated for that.
