On the other hand, the right wing has succeeded in pushing this country
towards fascism PRECISELY due to people keeping quiet for fear of
offending their neighbors, friends, relatives, fellow newsgroup
posters, etc.

You must be new here. Look back about a year in Google and see what a
mess this NG used to be. Un-fricking-believable. We discovered that it
only took a few people changing behavior to get the group back on
track, and there's always a danger that a few people dedicated to
screwing it back around to a political flame fest might be able to
accomplish that as well.

Please do speak out for your particular political perspectives and
don't let anybody silence or intimidate you.............but just don't
speak out for your particular political perspectives in an
inappropriate venue. Would you stand up in the middle of a Baptist
church service and start reading the Talmud in Hebrew? Probably not.
There's not a darn thing wrong with reading the Talmud in Hebrew,
repeating the Limbaugh "dittohead" talking points of the day, copying
and pasting the current issues list from moveon.org, etc. Just do it
where you should do it, and not where you should not. Please.
