Odd....I don't think my ideas are fanatical. Nor are they obsessive. They pretty well cleave to the outlines laid down by Jefferson and his gang. Declaration of Independence, Constitution, that sorta thing.

Now, it's true I started a thread to collect views of the Bush administration in, but it has cooled a lot of other threads from firing up, I guess, so that's one good thing.

As to politics being banned from the Mudcat, I guess the Spirit of Folk Music has always had room in it for political issues, especially when there is human oppression or a violation of civil rights going on.

So, while it is up to Joe Offer, Max, and Jeff, I suspect yer gonna have to put up with political threads.

I do confess to being persistent about pointing out ole w's shortcomings as a diplomat, leader and human being. One reason is that I have a deep disgust with the mindless robotic mass-think that elevated him to his current position. I think a few voices have to speak out about the Emperor wearing no legal constraints. Just because half the voting population turned dumbass on us doesn't mean they have to stay that way, I guess.

I am sorry it offends you.
