The Skunk and Tiger

I am currently reading "The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason", by Sam Harris -- a new book about how Christian (and other) fundamentalists are impeding the establishment of common ground and discourse among varying groups. Anne tells me that this lack of common ground and understanding goes back very distantly in human past -- she is reading the book we got for Christmas to read together..."Ideas: A History of Thought and Invention from Fire to Freud" by Peter Watson. I'll be reading it next.
