I urge everyone to vote NO to this proposal because its charter 
is excessively broad and in particular because the proposed
charter explicitly includes politics which under the USENET
guidelines and net.custom belongs in talk.politics.* rather than
in a soc.culture.* group.

I predict now that this group will become as noisy and flame-infested
as soc.culture.china has proved to be over the past two years.

Were the group moderated suitably and politics excluded, my position
would change.
