I agree. I think the lack of serious discussion of these issues on the list
(with exception) in lieu of articles about Gaza, Cuba, etc. frustrates me
more than the mere preponderance of the latter. As much as I care about
international issues, these things seem to be a distraction and I think we
could do more good for them as well as ourselves by focusing on fixing our
own domestic/local problems.
