Or maybe we need fewer Chiefs and more Indians.

In addition to everything else we fight about do we also have to 
fight about what we are going to fight about?


When your band finishes a rehearsal or gig or session and goes out 
for a drink do you tell anyone who is not talking shop to shut up? 
If they give you their take on current events do you tell them that 
you have other friends that you can to about that stuff with and you 
don't want to hear about it from them?  Do you forbid them to expand 
on their theories regarding the strange correlation between sun spots 
and red jelly bean production in the latter half of the 20th century?


*I* find it interesting to learn about the people I have been talking 
to on the LUG.  For example I find I have a new respect and interest 
in logicbaby and am thankful that I have the chance to correspond 
with real live Palestinian and see him as a real person with real 
interests that I share rather than just another victim or protagonist 
in another awful news story.  Personally it has been a real help in 
restoring my sympathy from the damage done to it by the news.

Off Topic is by nature a broader category than On Topic.  It is 
pointless to try to define it is it not?

  We are living in interesting times and sometimes these *times* are 
even more interesting for us than the latest mic or speaker.  What 
kind of people would we be if they weren't?  I truly hope that that 
changes soon.  But until it does (and even after for that matter) I 
think people should be allowed to speak about the things that are 
heavy on all our minds without getting hassled by Frank Koistra.
