The Politics Forum. A suggestion.
I realize that this is an international forum. I celebrate that. As a midwestern USA citizen I would consider politics as either a red state blue state issue, or whether the government should find some way to provide health care for all Americans (or some other country), whether the US or UN whould do something to stop the genocide in Darfour, or whether the US should condemn the UN for their misfeasance, malfeasance, and nonfeasance with regard to the "Oil for food Program" in Iraq.
Instead we are treated to conspiracy theories which include baldface lies such as the threads with regard to the indictments of President Bush, Vice President Cheny and Prime Minister Blair.
I have no idea where this stuff originated from. I suspect that it came from "The Onion."
Ideas are important. Ideas which make my blood boil are important because they make me think. Silly stories which made up out of whole cloth are just a waste of bandwidth.And they demean the large majority of members of this forum who are not spending all their time reading mental masturbation from the lunatic fringe.
My suggestion. Let's talk about politics. I don't care whether it is about treatment of aborigines in Oz or New Zealand, or whether Mayor Daley is culpable in the Hired Truck scandal in Chicago or whether Hillary will be the Democrats' nominee in 2008.
Maybe there will be more light than heat.
