Technically incorrect Matt, I merely have said and
believe that everything is political, and therefore
want to open up the content of the site.  this is just
for idle conversation since we arent really discussing
any decision here, but for example, 

recently I wrote a story about three benches.  the
local neighborhood association started talking about
ripping them out.  they said everyone there looked
like bums and drunks and "not normal people" so i went
and interviewed the folks who sat there, one of whom
was drunk as hell and called them a bunch of "draggers
and vampires who suck the life out of the ground they
walk on" - that quote was the end of the story.  

this story is rich vs. poor- even though its about
benches.  

I'm wondering- for the sake of argument and debate and
all that, can you come up with a story example that
could not be political?

-Pete
