Indeed the deterioration of this this list recently has been sad. What just a year or two ago was an active forum with good substantiative topics has reverted to mostly global news, and chit chat. Not trying to be too negative but there is so much potential (check the archives), that I feel we're missing out on.
We hashed this out a few weeks back. Since then I've been contemplating a idea raised then. When I see Merla post about the troubles world affairs might be causing her it solidifies my thoughts. Some of us like, need, or choose to live in our own little BD world. There is a lot if injustice in this world, and being able to deal with all the negatives isn't for everyone. There are places (many) that on can go for news, alternative, mainstream, political opinions. There aren't many places one can go to find those experienced in BD, especially in a forum where the back and forth of discussion often reveals so much.
I agree. I moderate several dozen forums, mostly on ORMUS. At one point I found that I had to set up an ORMUS and Spirit forum and an ORMUS Politics forum in order to keep these discussions from creating bad feelings on the WhiteGold list. This might be something that could be tried here too.
Also, since many of Jane Sherry's forwarded posts come from the Globalnews list I would recommend that anyone who wishes to get this information subscribe directly to that list. Here are the commands for the Globalnews list:

"What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies. The more you think of grievances, the more such trials you will continue to receive; the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you."
