It seems that we are all quite busy, John.
I want to comment and agree with your sentiment if I may.
This list is a *professional* list. People's politics are irrelevant
and people who can not separate politics from their profession are
immature socially.
I spent today with a man who is diametrically opposed to my political
persuasion. I was helping him to solve a wireless problem he had in a
deployment. Both of us understand that we are strongly opposed to each
other's opinion about many things, yet we not only had an excellent day
together but we solved his problem. When he installs the mesh we worked
out today, his customer is going to be happy. Not only did we have a
really pleasant day, but we had lunch and left each other with respect
at the end of the day...
This is not the place to talk about politics, you can do that at DSLR,
or anywhere. My boss did not pay for the privilege of talking politics
on this forum. He paid for membership because he thinks that WISPA is
capable of providing his *business* a service which is worth more than
the money he spent. Politics are totally irrelevant.
Sadly, *everyone* has a political opinion. Even the board is not immune
from that problem; however, we can *all* agree that we will ensure that
this forum is *APOLITICAL* and we can all ask our leaders to ensure that
our board is *APOLITICAL*.
... and we all should expect nothing more or less than that ...
If you have a political need to satisfy, *TAKE IT SOME WHERE ELSE*
Thanks

Michael,
OK but please clarify. No need to be vague here.
Who was paranoid and/or what was the "slip"?

Then there appears to be nothing to be either overly political in
our comment or excessively paranoid in our thinking? That is
good. Therefore let us try not to do that. Leadership is a tough
place to stand neutral politically and it is understandable that
the occasional slip happens. Never the less, politics ans
paranoia are not the purpose of WISPA.

Jack I quoted the pertinents. There is no reason to suggest that
"governmental agencies" with "political motivations" would try to
"deny free speech" in the name of "protecting security or safety".
My son (the Iraq war combat veteran with a purple heart) and I
talked the other day. He goes back next week.
I said, "Son, are we winning the war?"
He said, "That depends upon your definition of winning?"
He explained that he and his brothers are "bait". Yep, his words
exactly. They are "bait" because Al Queda is too damn stupid to
simply come to the US and kill people. They take the easy target,
Americans in Iraq. Most folks don't get that. I got it from day
one... six years ago. You see, they can kill our children in Iraq,
or they can kill our people in Boston, New York, or wherever.
Then he said, "but if you define winning as a self sustaining,
independant, Iraqui government, that is going to take ten years."
What does that mean to you and me?
It means that Iraq is going to belong to Iran or Syria before it
becomes a democracy.
It means that you are going to be paying $5.00 per gallon before you
are paying $2.50 per gallon.
Vote for the liberal, pro gay, female of your choice...
Is Ron Paul liberal and pro-gay, or would Bloomberg be more fun?
