>I disagree
Your privilege! But I totally disagree with your position. My reading of
our 2020 mission is to facilitate communication about community
development and related affairs, not to be a major vehicle for party and
personal politics, which ought to be reserved to campaign programs.
Otherwise, the postings could become so biased, distorted and emotionally
charged that a wholesome, factual-based, and respectful dialog would be
totally impossible. It boils down to: What is the purpose of this
particualr medium. If it's to be opened up to political haranguing --
with all the possibilites of mud-slinging and the like --, then we've
defeated its educational purpose. Leave politics to the street, but let's
not pollute this medium whose mission is quite different. Perhaps there
ought to be a meeting of minds on this. so as we know what we are dealing
with! Peace, Ken M.
