why is the literature forum separate from the politics forum
 

Isn't all great literature political in some way?


And thus He mused: "From here, indeed
Shall we strike terror in the Swede?
And here a city by our labor
Founded, shall gall our haughty neighbor;
"Here cut" - so Nature gives command -
Your window through on Europe; stand
Firm-footed by the sea, unchanging!

-Pushkin

Have you seen the posts in the Literature section? Ninety percent of that doesn't deal with 'great' literature, or really 'literature' in any meaningful sense.
I prefer it like this. When the Politics section is active it's my favorite.

The same reason there's a difference between shit and chocolate. :p
