from The Left Hand of God:
Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right
"As I write this, over these past four years the number of people who have died at the hands of terrorists is less than one-fortieth of the number of Americans who die in car accidents and less than one-third of the number of people around the globe who died on 9/11 from starvation and preventable diseases. All the same, since that day our social and political energies have to a large degree been devoted to preparing for a repeat of this kind of attack." -- Rabbi Michael Lerner, 2006
More quotes will surely follow given my excitement by and about this book....stay tuned!

Ah, Learner. Should be fun.

Hmmn...is that eye-rolling or appreciation, David? :-) So far, Lerner's making a great deal of sense to me as a non-religious type who feels ethically and morally (read spiritually) committed to a progressive worldview. Hopefully I'll have time to write more once I've finished the book.
