Unusually, I'd like to speak as one of the list owners and ask people to 
continue this thread of conversation elsewhere. We're quite tolerant to 
fairly off-topic side-threads here, but I think this one is going to 
generate more heat than light and it's not even tangentially on-topic.

So please feel free to have a private correspondence or to set 
follow-ups to some political debating group. But let it drop on this list.

Thanks
