the Party Convention WAS a "breaking news" event, I personally believe
this is an important topic, worthy of our discussion. I am interested to learn,
if UC people put a different spin on convention broadcasts than other
provincials. However, with constant complaints about what should be posted to
which list and this being the beginning of a new month, might everyone be better
served if this was moved to the culture list? I know that some
people will be alarmed at having their reality cross contaminated by Bender's
reality, but its not as if you are being buried alive in UC
cockroaches. There are a lot of
issues besides party politics to be addressed, including the economics and
politics of broadcasting, and how each candidate will influence the future
regulatory powers of the FCC. In addition, are
Kerryâs new poll numbers nothing more than a dead cat bounce? Will the
increasing polarization of the Partiesâ faithful result in a new Big Bang in the
universe of American politics? Probably more salient
and achievable in your lives is determining the editorial content of the various
purple.com listservs. Look at MajorCool (https://list.purple.com/purple-bin/majordomo,
answer yes, yes, and enter your e-mail address). How many lists can the
community effectively use? Please, post your thoughts.
For those of you
seeking to escape your summer doldrums, the Democratic Partyâs platform can
be read at: http://a9.g.akamai.net/7/9/8082/v001/www.democrats.org/pdfs/2004platform.pdf.
I am confident that Matt will post to the Culture List his partyâs winning
platform. So, in response to Bender, what should we take to Culture?
