Sound like something I would be interested in, though my politics isn't that
'centrist', which leads to me being accused, often in the same thread, of being
a "Marxist" or "Socialist" or "Fascist" or "Right Wing".  Usually this is the
result of people not really understanding a novel point of view and wanting to
find which category they can throw it under in order to use an epithet instead
of a logical argument as a retort.

When that happens, the discussion usually turns south.  That is the big problem
with political discussions, it either IS a discussion of one of these tired
ideologies, or people try desperately to turn it into a discussion of one of
those ideologies so they have familiar ground to argue on.

Hence why I think it should be confined to a BBS where it could be regulated,
instead of on fsxNet.
