These threads have a way of getting people all fired up and going nowhere.

(Kind of why we suggest political threads should be avoided in the forum. Even the Lounge category says: "Political discussion? ONLY topics directly related to efficiency are allowed.")

It's nice to see people be passionate about big issues, but EcoModder isn't really the best place for it. I've been kind of lax about reminding people of this - there are a few other threads lately that really don't belong...
