Kristina: It's about communications, and it is election time. It's about democracy. Techwriting is about communication, and some of think our well-being and that of our country is determined one way or another, by decisions made in this area, and it happens, we think differently from each other, and say so. Political arguments are healthy, not a cause for anxiety. Get really anxious when people stop simply arguing and exchanging views. If we don't have arguments, what's the point in having free speech ? And you can always skip thru the bits of the digest you don't feel comfortable with. -Peter M ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristina Andle" <Kristina.Andle@xxxxxxxxxx> To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, 20 August, 2010 9:22:24 AM GMT +10:00 Canberra / Melbourne / Sydney Subject: atw: Re: austechwriter Digest V8 #191 Who are you people?
