Actually there is... time and focus are limited resources. Meetings and discussions should be focused on one topic---say for instance stopping the abuses of power by a genuinely totalitarian government.

Conversation about the former shouldn't suffer from interjections by proponents of discussing the later simply because its an issue that's "closer to home".
