What do evil, stupidity, sloth, greed, and George Bush all have in common? They're all BORing. Is passionate creativity boring, or love, of a scientific break through, or the coming into form of a gorgeous work of art, or even passionate sex (since the pedophile pugs seem have a kind of anti-matter sex), boring?
It's too simple to say this, but Goodness and Intelligence are the cutting edge of human evolution, but Evil and Stupidity are the footprints of our reptilian (Freud called it the Id) ancestry.
The fascist/elites are where we WERE. The "echo" of the last 6,000 years may be deafening, but it's only an echo.
Where we ARE is a "tipping point", a critical mass moment, an intelligence quantum jump. What makes this difficult to accept is that it's a species quantum jump because ONLY AS A SPECIES can this evil, vampire elite, neo-Nazi filth, Bush insanity be transcended.
This is OUR Holy Grail. The 12th Century had theirs. Ours is to transcend an immature species – and the act of faith of this writer is that the great majority of the transcendence is already behind us. Ripeness is all.

ps: Speculation: Could it be that the last piece our species needed was the Internet (and blessing upon it)? I once had a response to a similar suggestion by a reader who said that his Sufi Master told him computers were eventually going to become spiritual. Wow, that’s a big, big thought, isn’t it? And if I were Las Vegas, you can bet I would always put my money on the views of a Sufi Master.
