No.  A week of political posts will not destroy the 
list, otherwise we would have destroyed ourselves a 
hundred times over.  If people have something to say 
that is not particularly extropian, say it this week
then let it go.  We don't want this to be a primarily
political list (too boring, not productive) but I see
little harm (and some benefit) from suggesting a
short well-defined time for a political free-for-all.

The war is weighing heavily on all of us.  True we
could go elsewhere to discuss this important matter,
but Harvey man, we have grown up together have we
not?  You, me, a lot of us who have been hanging out
on extropians for years, we are among friends here, 
we are among people who understand us, people who 
do not flee in panic when we start talking about having 
our heads frozen.  This is where we want to have our
discussions.  So let us have this one.  For a week,
keep it civil, then let it go.
