Help kill the Surveillance State Bill

[Ben Scott]

Hey people!

  Not too long ago we had a rather prolonged discussion about whether
political stuff like this appropriate for this forum.  While a formal
vote was not taken, informally, a clear majority voiced the opinion
that this stuff is better discussed elsewhere.  Someone even went so
far as to create a separate forum where this kind of stuff was
explicitly allowed.

  I find it rather rude and irresponsible that a few people don't
appear to care, and freely hijack this forum for their own purposes. 
Grrrrrr.

  Shall we call for a formal vote and appoint some topic-cops, or can
we act like adults and take it off-list?
