Subject: Re: Well, that didn't take long
No, I don't have a problem with the word. I was commenting on the word "popularity". Do people really enjoy talking politics? Or do they do it out of a feeling of necessity? For me, it's the latter. We're in a democracy, so we have to worry about it. An uninformed (or misinformed) populace will doom democracy (as we are seeing).

I'd rather talk science any day of the week.
