Blogging Archives & Home Rule

One thing about a blog is that someone will come along and peruse my archives (and I'm sure this happens to other bloggers) and make comments on posts that are long gone from view. This happened again recently, and I think the subject of Home Rule is important enough that I'm linking to the discussion. Obviously, I'm not one to delete comments just because someone disagrees with me. I will, however delete comments with obscenities (none have been deleted from the linked thread).
