There are several organisations where, at meetings or lists thereof, certain subjects are taboo. I believe the Freemasons, for example forbid discussions on religion or politics at meetings. Maybe we should implement such a voluntary restriction. Every time either of these subjects arises, no matter how innocently,- as in the discussion on the ARRANGEMENT of the US anthem,- it seems to bring out the dark side of some folks. Bad tempers, and snide remarks. You are all entitled to your opinions- but MOST of us listers and lurkers are not really interested in them. Those that are, go to a political list. Sure, we all have a delete button, but what a waste of bandwidth!
