Exactly.

Here in the UK. If you don't vote then bad luck.
If labour are voted out because all the labour voters didn't vote for
whatever reason, the govt cant say 'well all the people that didn't vote
were labour voters therefore we won' now do they.

Anyway, all this is starting to get very, very boring.

I am unsubbing for a while.

The last music related post was a bloody long time ago. 
I'd give you an actual date if I could but too many political posts, too
many list admin posts make it impossible to tell.
I know I could set up filters but as people keep changing the heading,
and I already have about 40 rules running it really isnt worth it.

FWIW I voted to moderate the list not because I want to infringe on
anyones right to freedom of speech, but because I'd rather have people
talk politics on a political list.
I don't expect people to start talking logic mixing techniques on a
political list. But that is just me.

I know people have their objections to this- but if you were in a
restaurant discussing logic with a large group of people and two or
three started talking over everyone else about politics would it not
annoy you a bit?
It did me.
So I'm going to go to another restaurant. 
Yay for the stupid analogy.

Bye for a while.
