I agree with Mike. I have seen several references to the net as
a kind of media experiment, and I guess most of us enjoy being 
part of this experiment. My feeling is that one important aspect
of a net of this kind is that it can bring people in different 
parts of the world closer together by letting them exchange opinions
on more or less important subjects. If this is so, discussions on topics
like world politics is *very* important. It would be most unfortunate
if the net degrades to a channel only for technical issues, recreation
and pure crap (note that I am not saying that we should cut all 
the crap out, some of it is pretty amusing). 

If the group net.politics is considered not to be the proper forum 
for world oriented political discussions (why is it otherwise not 
distributed world-wide), let us create a new group for this purpose.
