Please let us find the ways and means to discuss (leica) photography as a Leica User's Group which INCLUDES Social Documentary Work! I believe this subject the most important subject we can discuss and illustrate. Historically the Leica has played an important role in bringing us social documents. The subject has great relevance. We do not have to attack each other's political views. We can listen to them. Let us please define what sort of "political" discussion we will tolerate and which we will not. But let us not throw the subject of social documentary work out the window in fear. We must encourage the work and thought in these matters! Respectfully, George
