Maybe I have chosen a poor example to use to make my point.
I think that your observations are valid and it is a positive if any thread here attracts new participants to this politics forum and broadens our horizens.
The core question is where are all of the Americans who are informed of events or who come here to become more informed?
If discussion of and reaction to the Scanlon plea...as an example... is not happening in a place like this forum.... is it taking place...to any signifigant degree at all?
With the volume and content of the political news lately....this Canadian centric story should not be the busiest thread here lately.
It hints of apathy and that is the cause of much of what has gone wrong in the U.S.
