What Steve Says
Gilliard offers a history lesson and makes the excellent point that the fundies are not to be feared:
But the danger of the fundies is not raw, naked power, but the illusion of great power, and the fear people have of it. Unless people stand up to it, a fundie will have the power Stephenson had and we will have to rely on their undoing to save the day.
In case it has not been clear, let me just say that the point of this blog is not to stir up fear of the fundies, but to draw attention to their hypocrisy and fight back every time they try to interfere into our lives. Anyway, go read the whole thing--the history lesson alone is worth it...
