If anybody has acces to the NY Times magazine available with the sunday NY Times should read the article about separation of church and state in there, it's a very interesting proposal.

Oh, yes. Especially in Latin America, Marxist influence is very heavy. Especially his theories on history, and of course his socio-political theories quickly follow as a result. I mentioned it failing because if you've read Communist literature, lip service to Marx (and Lenin, if the nation has any soviet influence, or Mao if Chinese) is essential. Marx is viewed as the "deity" of their communist structure, and thus in my mind, when communism failed, so did Marxism. It's as if it's great to write about in literature, but impossible to implement in society. I hope that explains what I meant.
