LOL! Thanks, Lydia. :) With links, no less!
That does strike me a bit odd, in retrospect, that I hadn't thought of Calvinism...;-)

Never heard of speciesism...

I guess I'm kind of late weighing in, but here are a few others I thought of...

cronyism
syncretism
anachronism
stoicism
athleticism

You really shouldn't post things like this, Kara. Now I'll probably go through the rest of the night subconciously alert for more "isms." ;-)
