This newsgroup has some similarities to SW and MW broadcasts;
it's filled with people/groups/nations/governments that broadcast/post
what they think is interesting/important/informative morsels.

Whether it's

- Jesus lovers spreading the "Word"
- NRA members warning us of doom and conspiracy
- fanatical wings of politics pointing there finger sharply at "the
other side"
- "Great leaders" of messed up countries praising themselves
- democracies force-feeding their brand of government to the world

it's all part of sharing information and we can choose what we want to
listen to/read.

The important thing here is choice and I welcome it.

Much of news/political posts on this NG are broadcast in some
way,shape or form over
SW radio. Therefore, I don't find these political post particularly
off-topic for this NG .




I used to killfile it. Now, I just graze and read what interests me. It
doesn't have to bother me unless I allow it to.

Nice analogy to the actual SW bands.
