ratbastard, I don't think Will is asking to structure all Politics topics into a SC mode. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think he is recommending an addition to the already existing discussion and debate modes that we have. I think the only change to Politics that he is suggesting is to identify each topic in the title as to how the thread starter wants to proceed with the topic. Here is a very crude example using Vet Benefits:
- Discussion: "Our vets don't seem to getting the help they need..."
- Debate: "Has Bushco evicerated the VA?"
- Solution: "What are the appropriate benefits for our vets and how do we finance them?"
I can't speak for Will, but I don't think he intended an all or nothing proposition. If he has, I would disagree with it as well.
