[news.misc] debate on working for the DoD

chris@paideia.uchicago.edu (Christopher Miller) (04/15/89)

I'm relatively new to newsgroups, but I've got a pressing need to
discuss the implications, moral and not so, of working for the
American military complex.  (Job opportunities coming up . . .)

I realize that this is not the place for such a discussion.  What
I want to ask here is the meta-question: Where SHOULD i ask for 
such a debate?  More generally, is there anywhere a listing of
something like the statements of purpose for the newsgroups?

If I understand net ettiquette, answers should be e-mailed to me
direct.  Of course, if any of you want to address the question
instead of or in addition to the meta-question, you're more than
welcome to.  If I get any expressions of interest in such a 
discussion, I'll post a message saying where I'll be taking it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everybody who responded to my question about where to
carry on a debate about the moral (and other) implications of
working for the military.  As per the majority of suggestions, 
I'll take it to jobs.misc.jobs if they'll have me.  I'd encourage
especially those of you who offered your advice to join me there.
