A post becomes political I think (in a context of what shouldn't be allowed here I mean) when it takes part for one side against an other (Democrats versus Republicans - U.S. -, Conservative against Labour - U.K. -, right against left - here - and so on).., and start arguing about it. No-one is forced to be here, that's right, but no-one either is being forced to help good and intelligent people to give a valuable comment about whatever happen's, when relevant. There's a world around, and we are part of it. Music is a part of it, songs as well. Think that early Dylan songs, some Neil Young or CSN, and many others wouldn't be allowed here, that they couln't speak their mind - in an appropriate context that is -, is rather funny (or not), or strange and more...There are great people here, that make this Forum's value too... °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Hope this helps - everything is political to a certain extend (managing or taking care of the city life - or larger ensembles today -, according to the original word's meaning -in ancient Greek-)...Rules to be used if necessary.
