Ron,
    Let's say we allow discussion of politics from several
philosophical standpoints on-list. In that case how can we say that
other philosophical standpoints, i.e. religious views, must be kept
off-list? If some philosophies are fair game for on-list discussion,
all should be. If some are excluded, all should be.

    In this thread I keep hearing people's ideas about politics and
government from a secular perspective. I've held my peace so far.
Since I don't want to unsubscribe, it's automatic that as a list
member I will hear others' points of view. However, I would then
expect that my point of view would be listened to also. So if you guys
want to continue discussing politics and government on-list, then
don't get judgemental and ask that others' views be kept off-list.
Fair is fair.
