Synchronicity

Fresh off the heels of having read Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven, comes this news via word of mouth from Bill and Warren Ellis comes news of Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints holing up (literally) to wait out a crackdown they are sure is coming from the State of Utah.

I don't know if I can think of a more perfect metaphor for the fundamentalist digging in of the heels and refusing to evolve than retreating into your cave and saying that the world is going to have to come in and get you.
