Gosh durnit, he's everywhere. If nothing else, he's garnered a LOT of press attention with his book, "God is Not Great."
He was on Anderson Cooper last night, and well, he came off, if not exactly likeable, then at least reasonable.
Now Salon has this article about his book.

I always agreed with him (I guess I too am one of the last) and now I like him more. I'm right now reading the Dennett book (Breaking The Spell), and it's very good. I'd write daily book reports if I didn't have an actual life.
The whole need to create separateness and otherness is basically what's at the bottom of all conflict and violence. Isn't it?
I think we still have strong tribal instincts and this is how they come out. There are lots of things about us humans that are far more useful in the jungle than in the modern world. But there are also a few jungle instincts that come in mighty handy on a warm summer's night, and I ain't givin em up.
