Stephan:   The chasm being created by the Great Schism Trend becomes ever deeper. Mississippi, another Red value state, its voters, legislature, and governor have chosen hate over tolerance and love. It will be interesting to see what effect this has on the state; whether businesses leave, or don't come in the first place; whether there is an emigration of tolerant people and LGBT people; and, the impact of this new hate law on the state's colleges and universities. It is worth noting that Mississippi is essentially a second world culture that could not maintain its hateful Theocratic Rightist policies if the state were not subsidized by the Blue value states -- Mississippi gets $3 in benefits from the Federal government for every $1 it pays in via taxes. And finally, let me say very explicitly there is nothing anti-Christian in my statements concerning this and the following two stories. In my view, the Christianity of my youth has largely disappeared in the U.S. replaced by a weird, hateful, racist, anti-intellectual premillennial dispensationalism that labels itself Christianity but which, in fact, has virtually nothing to do with Jesus' very simple and straightforward message of love, equality, and inclusion. I am not interested in your label, I am interested in your intentions and the things you support.
