[There was originally discussion of a talk.politics.gay. Apparently, this was the outcome.-eliot] This is the first call for votes for a proposed new group, "talk.mor- ality", devoted to discussion of conflicting value systems. The group was originally proposed as a forum for the debate over the morality of homo- sexuality, but discussion on news.groups showed that a group with a broader scope would be a better idea. Accordingly, this vote is about a group housing any and all debates/flame wars over conflicts of morality. Topics would include (but not be limited to): the morality of terrorism or civil disobed- ience; the acceptability of recreational drug use; the acceptability of various sexual practices; the acceptability of euthanasia. To vote, send mail to goldfarb@ocf.berkeley.edu, or !ucbvax!ocf!gold- farb. Please include an unambiguous 'yes' or 'no' both in the subject line and in the body of the text. The voting period will begin at 12:01 AM on Saturday, February 17 and will continue for 30 days. ending on March 19. I will try to acknowledge each vote received, and will post a mass acknowl- edgement around the middle of the voting period.
