- Don't be a cretin, Brandon. Why should Norwegians be exposed to ideas on
- American conservative politics? Do *you* regularly expose yourself to
- talk and debate on Norwegian political issues?
-
- I wish I understood precisely what the Big Seven hierarchies are meant to
- be. If they're truly meant to be worldwide hierarchies, then why doesn't
- the us. hierarchy get more use? I see proposals all the time for groups
- that would be of interest only to citizens of the USA and those who follow
- American politics and culture, yet we don't label these with a '.us.'
- stuck in the namespace anywhere.
-
- I also think that there certainly should be some newsgroup for
- conservatives. I disagree that it should be called talk.politics.patriot
- as I vote Democratic, strongly dislike the National Rifle Association,
- don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, yet consider myself a patriot. Call it
- talk.politics.usa.conservative, or find a home for it in the us. hierarchy.
