Democratic discourse (was on-topic? Feb. 2nd -- Take a stand against the WEF!)

[Guest guest]

Right.

I thought we joined this list to get away from someone presuming to tell

others or to try to control, what's on-topic and what's not.

Although I'm not interested in each and every post here, I would rather

have them posted, knowing that I could post something that some won't

find interesting or relevant, but that others surely will.

That's the democratic and fair way, annoying and awkward and irksome

as it may be at times.

" To be a vegetarian is to disagree -- to disagree with the course of things

today.

Starvation, world hunger, cruelty, waste, wars -- we must make a statement

against these things. Vegetarianism is my statement and I think it's a

strong one. " Isaac Bashevis Singer

like this to the appropriate lists, not this one.
