Politics/government very important to many humans (and should be) but info/facts should be presented and debated for each of us to learn, grow in knowledge, to be responsible citizens re/voting.
I think Simon should do whatever he has to do - he and moderators read it all and know the negatives. People are passionate about politics and religion and by nature have our hand-me-down prejudices, delusions. Unfortunately, it takes so much research and time to present the facts and life is so busy for many. We've learned much about religious corruption, the gods and science on this board - amazing! Political science, current events, politicians in general should be no different but bitterness seems to rule. I get it, however, if the subject is nixed.
