This would certainly reduce my frustration with the list - as the many
discussions of US politics are often quite wearying to me...
AYE!

Subject: The "problem" with the list.
: It's easy enough to see what has caused Charlie (among others) to leave
the
: list. The problem is that there is a perpetual debate between two
extremes,
: and no moderator to say when the debate is over or who has won.
Eventually,
: people become frustrated with this and leave. If we want the list to
heal,
: the solution is obvious, we simply have to realize that each of us has our
: views, and none of us are going to give in on those views, and simply
agree
: to disagree and drop the talk about politics.
:
: So, I move to add an amendment to the list policy of "All is Brin". I
move
: that we amend it to say "All is Brin except politics". If we wish to
: discuss the policital systems of Sci-fi Novels, that's fine, but let's
keep
: real world politics out of the discussion.
:
: All in favor say "Aye".
: All opposed say "Nay".
