Thanks, PD, for posting this. I am of the same mind, I am trying to stay out of 95% of the political threads here. They are usually posted by the
same 5 guys who have a clear, obsessive agenda and the frequently lead to the same result. I enjoy the occasional debate about capitalism and democracy but I object to being told my views are "nonsense"... that usually leads to problems
So, yeah, I think if we follow your lead and ignore the "usual" political threads, they will sink quickly and we can shape better discussions without ending in bickering.
