November Discussion: https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/781540-articles-of-discussion-the-cabinet-1119/?do=findComment&comment=22282379
--------------------------
Aside from an uptick in substantive posting, I think a real blessing of Maurile's provisional suspension rules highlighted to me that there are other topics we'd like to discuss... but given the noisy nature of our current political theater, these topics are often lost in the sea of current events.
What I'd like to propose:
I volunteer to host a discussion thread that rotates topics monthly (could be changed if so desired). This will be very similar to a book or movie club (I think the movie club in the FFA gets decent enough traffic). I volunteer to take discussion member submissions for next month's topic. I volunteer to create polls to decide what next to discuss. I volunteer to help find links to kickstart discussions (others' help in this would be greatly appreciated, natch). I volunteer to keep an updated catalog of discussion topics. I volunteer to learn and participate.
Basically, let me do the dirty work, and the good minds here get to show up and discuss.
Is there interest in such a thing? As I wrote my post, perhaps this is better suited as an "Article of the Month" type club. And it can be that. It will only really succeed with participation, so I'm willing for the members to set the rules. I'll strive my best to enforce what is voted upon.
GUIDELINES:
[*]Each person only gets one submission for voting per month
[*]All submissions receiving x% (based on participation in the first poll) will automatically be renewed for next month
[*]Any submission below the threshold may be submitted again

GUIDELINES:
- Please keep the focus on policy rather than politicians.
Good post: "I think Policy A is a bad idea because I believe it provides the wrong incentives and will lead to the following unintended consequences..."
- Bad post: "Politician X is such a moron for proposing Policy A!"
