Tired of 2 political parties? Tired of needing to choose between socialists and neo-conservativists? Check out 3rd parties. They can be effective, even if only in a specific region. (Think of Jesse Ventura, for example). Take a look at the American Centrist Party.

Moderation seems to be on its way down. Since when is a 1-liner question a +5 informative? Or similar nonsense. Informative: Should have INFORMATION (and preferably links to back that up). Insightful: oh what the hell, it should have insight. Moderators should be given a vocabulary test to make sure they understand the terms.
