Dear Goeran, Did read carefully your email.
These, are for instances are political thoughts that you wrote (they were not my invention): The "mighty, arrogant capitalist US policy" is taking over the world today, whether we like it or not. Normal, simple, decent, peace loving people throughout the world are taking "the american way" to their hearts, even at the cost of loosing their own national identity, and there isn't a jot either you or I can do about it other than starting some doomsday-sect, joining Greenpeace or Amnesty or hiding in the Amazon jungle.... Very far from abstention, as anyone can see; and if what you've said aren't personal views: Is there a source of universal and neutral values and truth that I don't yet know? I didn't necessary said that you were giving your own views about the USA, and to me doesn't matter if it is about the US, Vietnam, Argentina or Belize. You were definitively giving your personal appreciation about political aspects, which is fine, as long as this list becomes something different from what it is and we all-or at least most of us- agree. My opinion is that either we let each other say whatever he/she wants, or we avoid completely certain subjects. Personally, I don't think we should allow ourselves to have the best of both worlds: complaining about what the other (not The Other) does, but acting at the same time in the way you condemn. That is, of course my own opinion. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
