My general view is that they do have a sense of humor. However, with something that's such a polarizing issue, and in particular one that not only is completely unrelated to the purpose of the list, and has previously led to *far* *far* too long of borderline flame war threads, it seems to me that it's a topic that is best left out. In humor form or otherwise. Just for example, I had to very much resist (as a liberal leftist) posting a "comeback" joke in response to Bill's first posting. The problem is that the joke I sent would probably have generated replies in of itself, as well as encouraged other folks to send their own "comebacks" and whatnot to the original posting. I stopped myself just before hitting the "Send" button. If people in general disagree, by all means let me know. I'm happy to post all the anti-republican/Bush propaganda .... er .... jokes I receive. 8) -- So, make a real effort to avoid getting sucked into all the expensive lifestyle habits of typical Americans.
