Homosexual Phobia?

I have noticed a linguistic peculiarity that most have come to accept but may be signalling a shift in opinion. We have racists, sexists and homophobia. Racist and sexist both refer to an opinion or state of mind, whereas by making the dislike of homosexuality a phobia it frames it as a disorder. While as a culture we despise those who hate other races, at least we admit that they can come to that conclusion using the faculties of their mind. The word usage for those who hate homosexuals though implies that anyone who comes to that conclusion has a psychological disorder. This assesment of their detractors helps to reinforce their talking point of inevitability of behavior.

Democracy and the End of Science

This is an outline for a thought I had.

Please help flesh it out.

-Since the end of WWII Democracies have sprung up around the world.

-Among the major schools of thought that were around at the beginning of WWII (Facism, Communism, Western Liberalism) it is clear that Western Liberal Democracy has won. The only major force resisten is fundamental Islam.

-Democracies are run by politicians who can seek to build compromise among large groups of individuals. Politicians are in the business of gaining votes and/or public support.

-Alvin Toffler suggested, and common knowledge confirms that there has become a gap between the advancements of technology and the grasp that the common man has over it.

-Politicians are beholden to the common man.

-Todays technology and science then, are only as good as far as it can pursuade the uneducated populous. Otherwise it can have no practical effect in the governments of the majority of the world.

-Long ago, Aristotle suggested that rule should be by the wise. Perhaps he was onto something.
