We may be a trusted community but when topics like this pop up, where
is the ham radio connection? If this is acceptable, why have we not
discussed Romney and Obama, last week's debate, Big Bird? Because these
are hot buttons? Too hot to handle safely?
Why can we not stick to ham radio?! Is that not what this list is for?
There are so many other lists that cater to "dangerous" topics like
politics and religion. LOL
