Just a reminder that we do watch these threads, and, as we don't want to fall back into our old habit of locking threads that are divisive, I'm going to let this one stay for now.
However, if it becomes full of unproven and unprovable rhetoric, I will lock it. That means, if you make a claim that the government is going to "do away" with something, a posting on an obscure blog by someone in their basement doesn't count as proof that it will happen. It is an assumption based on fear. If, however, a government official, in a position to affect policy has stated it, that is another thing entirely.
Please be mindful of this when you post. I'd rather not see personal attacks flung because of politics, which seems to somehow be a hotter issue these days than even Religion.
