I'd like to declare the following guidelines for discussing current
events on Leica-Users.

You can't separate photography from current events, but you can separate
photography from partisan politics. I have no problem with people
discussing what happened, and, in the abstract, why, but it is not
appropriate to discuss the politics of various solutions or the social
forces that drive the politics.

If you want to take a political position, do it by producing and
publishing photographs, not by email to the LUG.
