Re: [asa] Francis Collins shows mild signs of dementia, NA snark

Yes, politics could be included. I think though that the way it enters the
conversation is more by providing the context & limits - sometimes quite
active context & limits - in which the conversations among the other
partners takes place.

& there are other conversations taking place as well, some of which also
involve participants in the one I mentioned. But while it's sometimes
important to recognize the interconnectedness of all things, it's also
necessary at times to draw some boundaries.
