Hi All,

I posted this in the "911" thread, but thought I'd start a new one here for feedback on the topic of political discussion.

Just casting my vote for allowing political discourse and debate on BT2. NOT being allowed to discuss politics on BT1 was just as stressful to me as reading political posts is to others. I could never figure out why religion was a sanctioned topic but not politics. For some, politics is their religion!

As a Parkinson's political advocate, debate in this area is necessary for our health and well being, whether it be stem cells, prescription drug policy, or mental health legislation. It is ESSENTIAL.

If the thread is clearly labeled "political" then can't people who don't want to read steer clear? Kind of like turning the channel if something offensive comes on.

cheers!
Carey
