IThe forums have been a bit drab since our friend was kicked off. We need to spice things up. Here are some possible topics:
What should US swimming do more to promote the sport?
Should the qualifying times for nationals (masters) be lowered to make the meet smaller and more conducive to fast swimming?
400 IM - the true measure of swimming ability?
Has Bush exaggerated the threat of terrorism so that he can push his social agenda in the name of national security?
My answers: Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes

I keep my eyes on several discussion groups, and I've noticed that they all seem to have "bad" times, times when I wonder why I bother keeping an eye on them. Then, they swing back to being good, and I remember why I keep coming back.
In general, I think politics should be minimized. There are many good places to discuss current events; there aren't as many for swimming.
However, one political/swimming question does come to mind. Would the US be better off if we had a dedicated lap-swimmer President? I'd like to think so--and it would certainly help get more people interested in swimming.
