Kirk,

I have to disagree with you on this one. IMHO, politics of any kind do not
belong on the list. I would find it extremely distasteful if someone was
advertising a paddle in support of segregation or a paddle in support of
pedophiles. There are many people who will also find it distasteful to be
supporting paddles that are in favor of a war or those that are protesting
the government.

There are many other ways to make one's voice heard concerning
politics---lets keep it out of paddling and Paddlewise.

Just my two cents,
