[extropy-chat] Politics

[spike]

bounces at lists.extropy.org] On Behalf Of Russell Wallace

... But yeah, I'm sure you all don't want to read a flame war between me and
Brett, so I'm just killfiling the guy for the moment...- Russell


OK cool, thanks Russell, an admirable course of 
action is this.  I figure thus: governments
have guys who make policy, elected they are.  Governments 
have guys who sell those policies abroad, diplomats 
are these.  Like Yoda talking I am.  No one
here is an elected official, that I know of.  If 
one is trying to sell a government policy here, conduct
yourself like a diplomat you must. 

For the moment political discussion is OK here, so 
let us allow it to continue until world 
war 4 breaks out.  Play the board, not the man, let
your trigger finger be quicker on the delete key
than on the reply button.  Thanks to all who have
realized that no one needs to defend their country
or their government here, and to those who have managed 
to avoid escalating meaningless battles.
