Of course no discussion of terrorism
and fundamentalism would be complete
without a discussion of the terrorist
acts being committed against the
environment and restrictions being placed
on human rights by two of the most
nefarious fanatic groups that exist
in the world today:

1. Market worship fanaticism: "globalization at any
cost"

2. Biotech fanatacism: "Genetic purity at any cost! We
are our own gods and all must worship us! Our decrees
shall not be questioned!"

Yup. This has many bad consequences, and serves primarily as a wealth
and power enhancement tool for multinational corporations.

I am not familiar enough with your past posts to decipher what you
mean here. Could you be a bit more specific?
