Cultural Cold War
I have the feeling there is a new cold war going on right now. Unlike the last cold war, it is not really between two governments. This cold wars are really between cultures. It is a war between how people view the world. It is a war about how we measure progress in the world. The worst thing is that there is more then two sides to this war. I can see at least five or six different sides to this war.
The problem with a cultural war, it is not like a political war. There is much more at stake and people will go further. More people are willing to lay down their life for their culture. To lose is to get folded into the other culture. There is something about this that really scares me. I am worried that it will end badly for everyone.
