John - by "Fundamentalist Christian Coalition" I was specifically
referring
to the "Pat Robertson-worshiping fascist" types - who as far as I'm
concerned bear about as much relationship to what Christianity is really
about as the nutcase Islamic fundamentalists do to what Islam is about.
Certainly no offense to Christians was meant by it.  I certainly don't
want
to get into a debate about the propriety of such comments - if I
offended
anyone, I sincerly apologise.  I'll think more in future before casually
throwing off such comments.

By the way - as to the "Trans-Atlantic cousin" part...	I was born,
raised
and still live in good ole' Toronto - I'm Canadian, and I've been in and
out of the US for my whole life, as well as studying US history in both
highschool and university...   I'm not saying that increases the
validity
of my points - just that I'm not viewing the US as a complete
"outsider"...
