Shut-ins with computers is sort of a new age description of what would
have in past epochs been called novelists, philosophers, and others who
wrote a lot by quill pen and candle light. The populism of writing is
something English composition teachers should be delighted about,
except that so often the writing resembles more the 30 sound bite slams
we're exposed to on the tube than any carefully constructed argument.
Note the following quote:

Under the WORST of the US "right-wingers",it would be paradise compared
to
life under Islamic law. Note the two FOX journalists FORCEd to convert
to
Islam at gunpoint.It's also a death sentence to renege on the deal.
And the ironic part is that liberals would be the FIRST to be oppressed
and
persecuted under it,and they don't even realize that.

Now my own crackpot response:

It seems like daily there's some "right-winger" Christian trying to
force conversion to the most contorted sense of irrational values
imagineable, particularly those relating to women. So, Ayatollah Bush
and his radical clerics of the religious right and the Islamic fanatics
have much in common in their tendency to force religion at gunpoint.
The Christian right would like to trash the Bill of Rights and
substitute a rule of government based on a bizaree interpretations of
the Old Testament. Harassement of patients and physicians, and bombed
abortion clinics, bans on stem cell research that would allow
scientists to find new cures, forbidding over-the-counter medication
vaccinations against ovarian cancer for those women it would most help,
and forbidding over-the-counter access for women to a widely recognized
and safe morning after pill.
These same religious fanatics are persuing a policy of warfare against
those with whom they in fact share a lot in common. The last part I'll
agree with--liberals would be the first to be oppressed--but that's the
same wherever one goes in the world. Those who are in pursuit of
science, who devote their lives to helping others or the environment,
rather than pursuing a life of building a hug bank account or making
military conquest, are at risk wherever they live. But, I don't see
Bush terrorism policy that strips down civil liberties doing anything
to help out either here in the USA or anywhere else in the world.
