I, for one, agree. Being in America, I've found it hard to discuss politics/current events with some of my friends, especially my ultra-conservative family. I was under the assumption that this was a mailing list for b&s fans and whatever they may have to say. I'm interested in hearing comments on current events from all over the world. Otherwise I'm just another sheltered, ignorant American who wants to stay in the dark so they can go on with their daily lives.....or the other extreme, which is running out to buy canned food, gallons of water, and duct tape because they believe everything they hear on CNN. I don't think this should turn into a forum for budding politicians and the like, i still want to hear about everyone's new favorite band, who they have a crush on that they're still trying to get the nerve to talk to(me included), and i would cry if i didn't get a ken chu or laura llew post at least once a week cos they make me smile. i obviously don't post that much, but it's something i feel really strongly about, and i wanted to show support for anne. xoxo angela _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
