We've had discussions like this one a time or two before this, (please learn to use the search button at the top of the page), but I'll briefly summarise the salient points:

- This section of the Forum is called Open Discussion. I shouldn't have to explain the unlimited nature of that category.

- as musicians, we are the kind of people who have a strong need to express ourselves. That isn't limited to just playing music.

- life, at any level that involves more than one person, has some political element to it.

- where else are you going to be able to debate important issues with fellow string-slingers from all over the world?

- no one's forcing you to either read, or add to, this thread.
