Above was the sarcasm. The serious way to put it is to say that some IMC's including Chicago, unfortunately, have become incredibly watered down to the point of 'painfully dull' and merely semi-democratic. The 9/11 Truth thread was deleted more than once, and is indicative of something sad and dishonorable. This is a free-speech site, or was designed to be, and has been hijacked by "activists" who want to select what issues get to be heard and what do not. Seems to me that the issues NOT selected are the most hardcore issues that exist. I suggest you think this through and "turn back" before some members morph into clones of the CORPORATE media. Let's try to avoid this, shall we? Cool, now we can get some real work done. Oh wait, you're going to delete this thread as well WITHOUT a serious (if any) reply. Hopefully the moderator reading this will prove him/herself not to be quite so predictable.
