Annie,
We've had this discussion before. I think the consensus was that if you weren't interested in a topic, just ignore it. Some times people place things in the Forum that are somewhat off topic but that really can't be helped. At times like these emotions run high and people like to "share" with like minded people. Except that when they do that we find that in many cases the only single thing that makes us "alike" is a love of Lightfoot's music. Politically we cross the spectrum from ultra-leftist self-loathing Americans all the way to apolitical Australians, and many in-between. It's usually what someone considers a "simple" statement that sets off the ruckus. Watch and see.
Peace
Bill
