Apolitical?

[Dominus Digg]

As this blog is envisioned, and strives to be, a light-hearted break from mundane life and a source of nerdly entertainment, should we continue to cover/discuss politics?

It's a very devisive topic that is rocket fuel to flame wars and endlessly debateable even if civil. The media is saturated with opinion and speculation, do we really need to join?

What say you, citizens?

I don't know. Angry people post a lot. I just don't think it's a lasting spike in activity.

[Dominus Digg]

Me neither.

Polticical articles have gone mostly ignored accept the the Olympics one, which feels like more of a cultural commentary.

It's funny you ask ... I actually had intentions on starting a forum to discuss this "historic day" involving the infamous mayor of Detroit, Kwame Malik Kilpatrick, but I thought twice, as I wasn't sure if Da Dominion was the appropriate place for this discussion.

I've yet to get a good feel for the particular vibe of Da Dominion being the newbie that I am, but I was drawn here with the thought of expressing whatever was on my mind.
Today, it happened to be Kwame. Yesterday it was the idea of sharing some cool websites I ran across ... once again there was this sense of uncertainty.

To answer your question, I'd say SURE! Let's talk about it!
If the consensus is otherwise, it would not equate in my removal of this site from my bookmarks.

Your confusion is forgiven citizen. Our domain is expansive. We have an "About Us" section going up on the blog soon to clarify our noble intent: to create Truth through a consensus of informed opinion on what is sweet and what is wack.

Opening lively discussions to build this Truth will get you titled.
I wasn't thinking of banning such topics from the forums, but rather should I blog about them?

Kilpatrick, though a political topic, is also one of justice - WHICH WE ARE ALL ABOUT! Proceed with your discussion.

I'm for both, its alright to have a few endless discussions. And I enjoy talking about both, if I were you I wouldnt advertise talking about politics but if its comes up dont shut it down.

Since this forum topic has gone up several politics tagged articles have been written, so clearly it is not a taboo subject - nor should it be given a high stakes election that has deception as one of it's major themes (as though that's rare in campaigns).

Citizens are free to speak their minds, however as Dominus I will not be favoring one side over the other as it would exclude input from potential citizens. Their insights - no matter how unpopular - can only enrich us.
