I would really appreciate some input from others on this, I feel a little naked having been the only contributor (to say nothing of I am talking for all of you?). Kan we haz improovmints? ħumanUser talk:Human 01:02, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

It looks terrible. Bohdan2 01:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Of course. I could have said that for you, had I remembered you were "active" right now... saved you the trouble, and all. ħumanUser talk:Human 01:05, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Hmmm. Why the quotation marks? Sarcasm? Bohdan2 01:06, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Hmmm. No, just alliteration. ħumanUser talk:Human 02:02, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Fundamentalism[edit]

I have changed "It is often associated with religion" to "It is most often associated with religion". Because: 1) The majority of definitions found by entering Define: Fundamentalism on Google give a religious definition or associate the term with religion and 2) The Wikipedia definition of Fundamentalism also stresses the religious aspect.--Bobbing up 10:11, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Authoritarianism[edit]

We say: Authoritarianism is most closely linked with political philosophy as being part of the far right mentality. It is not difficult to think of left-wing authoritarian governments. The USSR and present day China spring to mind. On the other hand no true communist government would act like that, so maybe they don't count? --Bobbing up 10:18, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

I agree... sort of. But I must point out that those governments were only nominally left-wing, really. ~ Gloom(is never asleep) 10:21, 2 August 2008 (EDT)
Right - not true communists then? :-) --Bobbing up 14:35, 2 August 2008 (EDT)
I say scrap the "far right" part - I have seen people one could only call lefties being authoritarian, at least on certain topics (like some aspects of political correctness, for instance). ħumanUser talk:Human 17:36, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Postal[edit]

I/we really appreciate the help! ħumanUser talk:Human 01:40, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
I was absent from all the planning so I'm trying to make it clearer for an outsider, including goals, etc. Trent writes an excellent midterm, but...-- Asclepius staff.png-PalMD --It hurts when I do "this" 01:50, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

Hehe... Hell, I was burnt out when I did the first draft, it really needed to simply be written over. Doc helped out a lot. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:06, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

Folding box[edit]

Can all this go into a folding box so we don't have the whole page taken up with it? - π 12:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
