[governance] Courtesy and list Netiquette: was:CORRECTION: List

I agree and add that 'examples that work'.
Decrees are bedfellows to dictatorship as their imposing phrases show.

"politics and religion at the dinner table?" Well I do not see any
difference as the two have as objective: acquiring some power. When
politicians lie to get power and earn our monies, religious people cajole us
to "give a stipend to God" thus taking away our money that is later on
invested in business ventures. Politics and religion are all business
entities anyway.

Cheers

Aaron
