Quote for the Day:

The Moral Majority asserts its moral superiority but offers no intellectual analysis of nuclear war. No questions are asked about the notions of justice or whether war can ever be just. No questions are raised about the strategy or doctrine of nuclear war fighting. The bankrupt assumption of morality based on the oversimplified values of family and faith has neither form nor content. Their church has become the town meeting place for propounding a red-neck theology, tainted by elements of racism and chauvinism. Images of fire and brimstone instill fear and blind adherence. God and evil are de facto concepts, presented without analysis or justification.
