OFF TOPIC ... Politics and the economy go hand in hand. If we attack Iraq, oil may go up. If oil goes up, the economy stalls. If the economy stalls, stock prices will falter and Cisco will also falter. There's your chain of discussion. With rationalizations similar to that, anything and everything could be described to be ON TOPIC. But anything and everything IS NOT on topic, obviously. Therefore, your rationalization must be invalid. Ron

There's your chain of discussion. Illogical connectives. Your defense of such an incendiary topic (politics) defies logic and leads me to the conclusion that, to you, no topic is off limits. A topic such as politics is not only clearly “off topic” to this thread but more often than not leads to flame wars. One could logically conclude that by your participation and defense of said topic you give tacit approval of such discussion. In this world we have those that talk and those that do. You have clearly demonstrated that you love to talk. I think you believe that it’s easier to go along just to get along. I choose no such path. Ed Forrest
