In an effort to avoid the unnecessary rancor which often proceeds political discussion we make a concerted effort to keep these forums free of political discussion and commentary, asking that all poster limit their political observations to the PPP section of these forums. However, today is election day here in the good 'ol USA so it only seems appropriate that we have one thread here on the main wall where folks can discuss politics to their heart's content. So have at it folks, with three conditions if you don't mind:
1) Do not enter this thread if you're bothered by political discourse or cannot handle divergent opinions; if you can't stand it, don't read it and then complain about it; just don't read it at all.
2) Limit political commentary to this thread only; anything outside of this thread will be considered the unwelcome violation it always has been and will be treated as such.
3) I know folks get hot about politics, but at least make an honest effort to keep it civil before you go beating your friends about the head ; - )
