Isn't the definition of an echo chamber one where the same opinion is magnified between a group of like-minded individuals to the point of loosing context? If anything this list is a melting pot of people with vastly different opinions. The people complaining that this thread, or any thread about freedom, is boring/noise are indirectly trying to promote a heterogeneous environment which would lead directly to the echo chamber you speak about. So things get quite heated around here? It's healthy. -- Noah Slater <http://bytesexual.org/> "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." - R.
