Since everything we do in life is political - how much you pay for a loaf of bread, gas, meds, which meds are available, insurance costs, education standards, pay rates, taxes etc etc - it seems only right that one should discuss these issues. Politics aren't just about explosions and war, remember. Should be interesting to see it all from the brain talk point of view, too.

*BUT, it's got to be in a clearly-marked bomb-proof container.* i.e. a separate forum within the general area. Actually, it's an easy matter to add new sections, so a "Life Politics" section should work fine.

Same goes for "Religion" too. Personally I am not religious (I don't mean not spritual, you understand), I'd like to see another individual forum for that. Trouble with BT1's policy regarding religion is that with no platform, religion crept in everywhere and bled all over the carpet.

I think Chit Chat could be for those recipe/lifestyle/other matters that aren't obviously "medical" but can be very useful and supportive.

I vote yes, good idea Indigogo (fun username...)
all the best

Oh yes, forgot to point out that the internet is international, so US citizens will have to sit through other nationalities' issues too.
