Re: [microsound] Re: us citizens... (OT)

[Phil Thomson <philthom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I might find more welcome here is explicitly relating the practice of 
microsound to this and other political contexts. But all too often, I find 
the "political" discussion on this list degenerates into name-calling and 
shallow opining. The "futurist=fascist" thread has been interesting; what 
more can we say on that and similar topics?

That said, someone on another list posted to the effect that the three 
most taboo topics on any mailing list are 1) politics 2) religion and 3) 
whether religion and/or politics should be discussed on a particular 
mailing list.
