    inflexibility lead to neurosis

    true true, but then too much flexibility of the mind leads to psychosis. i vote for absence of mind as the best path to sanity... or at least happiness.

    i think the climate is also a useful political bogeyman now the commies are neutralized and the 'terrorists' are proving a bit tricky.

    a conservative has this need to vindicate their past behaviour by digging their heels

    it's called neophobia, just one of the many fears conservatism and fundyism are based on

    i like the confused references to 'natural'. i thought the Big Book was all about finding piety through resisting 'natural animal' inclinations. going with nature now seems a bit inconsistent. i guess we should've stayed foraging and living in caves and not built all those hideous un-natural churches.

    then there's the problem of cancer, tse tse flies and dying of appendicitis all being natural phenomena - should we not resist them either or are there some things that might be natural but should be resisted. i guess the ultrafundies that'd rather have their kid die then let them have a blood transfusion are in the camp of whatever's 'natural' or God's Will, should be left to happen.

    and then there's the particularly problematic notion of what is natural in the first place, most of which seem to have an element of species self-loathing, as in human-made means necessarily unnatural (which is odd considering humans are supposed to be natural animals of this planet). so wax made by bees and ant hills made by ants are natural, but plastic or cities made by humans aren't natural. and of course radioactive material produced by the human species is really really unnatural, despite the sun and the earth's core being made of the same.
