I disagree

Lindy — 10/24/2007 3:27:47 PM (archived)

Although ER would like to see our political passion delegated to Flame only, I disagree.
There's a very fine line as to WHAT subjects entail politics or eventually become political in nature, due to the current administration having their nose in just about everthing that affects us now.

And we do discuss, and there ARE opposing ideas. And sometimes it's not pretty.
And Flame HAS taken the worst of the discussions, but I also think that newbies seeing we are delegating our political passions onto a flame board would feel intimidated to discuss just about anything on Current Events.

You all can sign up for 30 days.
And the ones who do, can refrain from discussing anything with me if they think it's political.
I do believe it's going to be hard to "define" the subjects, and harder yet, not to discuss them. These are special times.
