Correction and suggestion
Correction: On the front page of the secular web, one of the books of the month is The Meme Machine. It says it is by Susan Blackmore and Richard Dawkins, which is misleading. Blackmore wrote the entire book and Dawkins only wrote a brief introduction.
Suggestion: Is there any way that the Church State Separation forum could be expanded to include discussion of all legal topics? It usually gets a fair amount of topics that are only tangentially related to Church State Separation and primarily deal with the law anyway. The forum could be used to discuss things like the recent affirmative action and sodomy decisions, nominations of judges, gay rights issues that are being litigated, etc. Right now, those topics are discussed in both the political discussion forum and the CS forum anyway. A lot of posters that would have valuable insights on legal topics that are discussed in the political discussion forum don�t really bother reading that forum, but stick to the CS forum. |

Re: the correction, thank you for reminding me. I was aware of that yesterday, before I actually put the new front page up. I intended to fix it, but I had the new front page done ahead of time, and forgot!
Regards, -Don- P.S. Feedback regarding Secular Web content belongs in the Feedback forum, so I am copying this there. |

The example of gay rights though I believe would fit in the CSS-SA forum already since, near as I can tell, religion offers the only argument against gay rights. So I see that as related to CSS. The forum is already heavily used to discuss the nomination of judges and that also seems appropriate to me given that nearly all of the recent nominations have been of funnies. But I think that other legal issues that don't really impact CSS, such as the SC decision on affirmative action, still should belong in PD. So in summary I don't think taht a change is needed. |

That is the way it looks to me too - the more specialized fora should stay focused on the core topic(s).
cheers, Michael |
