As a public service, I hereby designate channel 222 as the unofficial Political Chat channel.
These are "interesting times" for politics, but many of us play AH for a break from that reality. Those who just can't resist debating political matters while playing are encouraged to use channel 222, where everyone who wants to can read your take on the subject, and those who want a break can ignore it without squelching individual players.
Thank you for your cooperation.
