A President Rick Perry and a President Amadinijab would have obvious similarities as presiders over the U.S.A. and Iraq. Each politician emerges from a fundamentalist religious/political interface of style and substance. Both men exude fundamentalist down to Earthism amidst their brethren and religious supporters. As fundamentalist quasi-clerical politicians fusing religion into politicis and politicis into religion these men are fire breathing dragons of conservatism as cult, with President Amadinijab being the more liberal of the pair.
President Amadinijab believes in the reurn of the savior hidden twelth Imam from a well in the Iranian city of Qom. Governor Perry believes in fundamentalist mega-church eclesiastics mentioning Jesus Christ as a spiritual savior. One is led to believe that the Savior is manifested through the communion of Republican politics with the will of god that Americans support wars for Exxon oil fields, military manufacturing in Texas and an SUV in every driveway.
President Amadinijab of Iran is in a less secure position that a potential President Perry in relation to his political overlords. A President Perry can satisfy religious leaders in the U.S.A. simply by transferring some financial resources to church clercial control, while President Amadinijab must try to wangle a better life style for his poor constituents while the Supreme Leader and a few Grand Ayatollahs criticize his actions that stray at all from a direct theocratic control over all things political.
President Amadinijab may be moving toward liberalism and the freedom of nuclear weapons production and Governor Perry toward conservativism that would roll back abortion, a ban on school prayers to Zoroaster or Summerian dieties and probably to God too, yet a President Perry would have not much chance of stemming the cells of change that global corporations pupeteering American voters desire to have a fully impoverished, vassalized American polity with a homosexual takeover of traditional marital arrangements. I wish him luck in that last effort should he in some way get elected in 2012 instead of the better candidate Mitt ROmney.
Gov. Rick Perry has no interest at all in global warming. Burning natural gas releases, I believe it is, methane, a potent green house gas.
The scalar field problem of demographics and geography may much of the issue of what 'green technology' to use to produce energy dubiously effective at any rate. james Lovelock seems to think humanity is doomed to global warming and that the temperature should stabilize about ten degrees warmer globally with maybe 200 million survivors living in far northern locals (and Greenland too I would imagine)as well as a few other places.
Then, if humanity renews its fossil fuel and greenhouse gas history the temperature may go up another notch and no human life would survive.
The challenge might be to use ecological systainable principles in economics-very difficult with 7 billion souls and going up steadily on Earth. Just tweaking economics with some 'green jobs' won't make the finite resources last much longer.
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc
