</div>My initial post that started this topic was specially about employment<br>
issues and the lack of healthcare issues in the US. Yes, admittedly it was<br>
not related to Drupal, but there were other people who chimed in and<br>
carried the discussion forward. It also wasn't me who brought ideology or<br>
politics into it; it was the people who felt they needed to attack<br>
socialism. I felt the need to defend the other side; though I could argue<br>
both ways. But okay, if you don't want to talk non-Drupal related labour<br>
issues, I would be obliged to not contribute them.<br>
<br>
Take a straw poll.<br></blockquote><div><br>I realize that the thread in question was sort of a continuation on the topic<br>of should Drupal unionize or not, ...etc. Therefore I can't say it is off topic<br>completely. For me, it was, at worst, borderline and therefore should be <br>
allowed.<br><br>We had threads about insurance providers, which is totally not related<br>to Drupal too. No one complained, since the topic is "benign" me thinks!<br></div></div>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a>, Inc.<br>
