TEA PARTY conservatism

Have you lived long enough to notice how the whole political climate
has shifted much to the Right since the great depression? It happens
to be a characteristic of civilizations to gradualy return to the old
faith and other conservatism when the divided ideology that bonds it
together divides into splinters and grows weak. People then turn back
because others become disollute, materialistic, addicted and generally
less moral. People feel regressing back is "the only way to save
us."

They happen to be wrong, however, in that mankind cannot go backword
for long. We have to move foreward. The world's population keeps
growing and we get more and more crowded and press more and more on
the Earth's diminishing resources. We cannot retreat from such
problems. As with us always in the whole course of human
civilization, when things get this bad, we adopted a new world-view
and way of thinking, one that united us and enabled us to cooperate
together and build a new civilization---in other words, to move
foreward, not backward.

Yes, it has happened often. A good exampe is when monotheism replaced
the old polytheism of Ancient Rome and brought us Western
civilization.

Now, it is time to, in turn, replace monotheism, replace it with non-
theism. We are now in the stage where such a new world-view and way
of thinking is being shaped, one that promotes birth-control to limit
overpopulation, promotes racial equality, provides a better set of
moral standards, promotes science, and is dedicated to the colonizing
of space.
