Not that I would partake in any of the debates, but I think it would be cool to hear you guys actually debate this stuff by audio files. Propose the topics, lay out questions, have responses, etc. I think it would make it a lot harder to pull the non sequiturs and Hannity-esque bickering tactics. Text where needed, of course. I mean, since no one can do it by text anyway. It might be hard to keep going, but I'd love to see you guys try.

It might actually be productive.

I expect at least one audio response telling me and my idea to piss off.

Good, so I can subliminally broadcast my neo-con message, like those two stoners said about the Judas Priest album
Wouldn't work.

OK. If you record and share them with everyone. I don't want to wait till '05, though, for 3-way iChat.

Just select the text, copy it, paste it into TextEdit, and then pull a speakable items routine on it. There's your audio debate!

It's sad enough to read some of the dreck that is spouted here, to actually listen to it...
