I don't understand why you and a couple of others like to predict doom to this place when it is doing just fine and has from the onset. There are always going to be bumps in the road and hurdles to get over, but without those we wouldn't learn anything, we wouldn't be challenged or moved to action, and it could end up being boring and people fading away into nicities and pleasantries that address nothing.
I think things are moving along just fine and the coordinators are doing a great job. I think there has to be a balance, because it's true, we don't want this to be a sounding board for people's political platforms (since you've been talking so much of politics - is why I bring up that subject), yet at some points in time it has to be addressed, even if minimally, since Berg took us into that nether world of Berg politics that was basically, anti-Jewish, pro terrorist, anti-American and very socialist in nature. So in that context there could be discussions and it needs to come up from time to time.
