Look, I have my own political ideas...and a multitude of places in which to indulge them. I do not consider ECN one of them!
Even among like-minded friends, political discussions become tedious FAST. Now, some folks just can't have a bowl of cornflakes without spinning off on a political tangent- I truly pity these folks.....mainly because so many of them consider themselves to be 'clever.'

So maybe it is necessary to have a heavy hand....unless we all act like more mature adults, and NOT let some yahoo's silly remark draw us all off on a tangent.

Now, one politician who is always welcome here is Lech Walensa....but only since he's an electrician!
