Afraid of Southern Politics?
According to the book"Made In Texas: George W. Bush and the Southern Takeover of American Politics "
Lind (The Radical Center: The Future of American Politics) delves deep into the heart of George W. Bush's Texas, and what he finds may give moderates pause and send liberals scurrying. According to Lind (a fifth-generation Texan), the politics of West Texas are steeped in racism, environmental exploitation, jingoistic militarism, crony capitalism, an anti-public education bias and a fundamentalist evangelicalism inconsistent with the separation of church and state. About President Bush's relation to these beliefs, Lind in part merely implies it by association, saying, "Cultural geography is of little use in analyzing the personalities of politicians-but it is indispensable in understanding their politics."
This is crap but if you think you need to read it, the book is found here.

Ok, well, I hope this is not going to be a huge problem. I don't understand how with all that has happened, these things continue to crop up. It just seems like security would be better.
Thousands of passports which go missing in the post are at risk of falling into the hands of terrorists, an MP warns. [BBC News]
