John,
Will you not have to read even closer now, for fear of someone slipping in a political bolo punch? So if I were to post on the new airport checks and maybe I object to profiling, would that be political? If I'm discriminated against because I'm a biker, is that political?
Again, I think of Orwell: Not having a political opinion is a political opinion.
Are these questions political and raising ire? Once you grease the pole, you can't get back up it.
BTW, I'm not saying you're wrong and I don't envy you having to read all the posts, but I do think past suggestions about having a Political Posts area isn't bad, but it doesn't alleviate your having to read posts... But poeple who enter, enter at their own risk-- kind of like the bars I used to go to.
