HA!! I was wondering if any of you were going to crack and mess the 
list up further with a response to this? <LOL>

Ron wilson posts a link to a speech in which Bill Moyers, while making 
a few good and interesting points, has the gumption to whine about the 
sad state of journalism, criticizing his fellows for acquiescing to 
pressure from the current administration, as if they weren't all 
lapdogs enough for the previous one ... and bemoaning the fact that 
opposing points of view are actually allowed a place in the media! 
Shocking! Simply Shocking! <shudder>

Jean Shuford responds to this politically oriented Off Topic post, 
thanking Ron profusely, IN CAPITALS, no less!

Marlys rightfully urges the others to: "Please keep the political crap 
off the Silver List..."  and in so doing tries to play LIST COP...

And finally, John Young excoriates Marlys for play list cop... while 
doing so himself! 

<LOL!>

Okay, for the newbies, and anybody ELSE who needs reminding, under the 
heading of "Prohibited Topics," the list rules state:

"Politics is forbidden unless it relates directly to CS or important 
alternative health issues ... Do not discuss political parties, 
elections, politicians, policy, or philosophy. Do not raise divisive 
issues -- you know which ones! Do not reply to political comments made 
by others... Nope, not even to be 'fair!' "  

and...

"Criticism of other list members' behavior or how the list is being run 
must be directed to the list owner, privately and not on the list. No 
List Cops!"

You'll find these rules at http://www.silverlist.org, along with my 
discipline policy regarding violators.

So now, please, NOBODY respond further on this topic. Be PATIENT while 
everybody gets caught up on their mail, as one or two might react 
unwisely and add their two cents before reading *this* e-mail.

If anybody wants to take up a CIVILIZED discussion of these matters, 
the Silver Off Topic List is waiting. Links are in the footer below and 
instructions at the above web site, under the Off Topic List link.

Meanwhile, I thank you all for the other fine threads that are 
proceeding despite the distraction. Good work!

Politics don't play well here, folks. Y'all done been warned now, 
y'hear?

Be well,
