We need to stay abreast of these issues---or one day we make wake up
under total domination of socialism.
Heh, heh. OK, this is funny, but please, let's keep politics OFF this list!
I'm not sure how alcohol shipping policies are really on-topic here, but
that one post probably wouldn't be a problem if it didn't - inevitably -
expand to other members' favorite hobbyhorses. I'm sure there are plenty
of other lists for political debates, aren't there?
Since this NAFEX list is such a good one, I really think we need to
avoid obvious off-topic problem areas like politics. Let's face it, our
political thinking is liable to be all over the map. We're FRUIT
ENTHUSIASTS. That doesn't presuppose any particular political ideology.
