Marxist Hacker 42 writes "Now that the Politics section is up and running, I can submit this story. Back in February, The American Prospect ran a speculative article on The Danger of NeoConservative One Party Rule. A quote: 'Benjamin Franklin, leaving the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, was asked by a bystander what kind of government the Founders had bestowed. "A republic," he famously replied, "if you can keep it." There have been moments in American history when we kept our republic only by the slenderest of margins. This year is one of those times.'"

Me too. Filtering now. I don't read Slashdot - "News for Nerds" for political "news" especially when the last few articles ( all so far?) have been slanted to the left (IIRC). Thanks, but no thanks. I've really grown to dislike BoingBoing.net for the same reason. It _was_ one of my favorite sites, but it's slanted so far to the left... UGGGHHH!!!
