[Tfug] Enough of the Politcal Crap

[Eric M. Gearhart]

OK but Linux politics is Emacs vs. vi (go nano), GNOME vs. KDE, Andrew Tanenbaum kernels vs. Linus Torvalds kernels, RMS philosophy versus ESR philosophy, etc. etc. ad nauseum 

Veering off into what a "true patriot" is and linking to Ron Paul videos isn't Linux politics, it's "Politics politics." 

Just my .02

Umm....may I point out that Linux itself sometimes IS political. 

Microsoft in particular lobbies hard against anything related to open 
source - including functions like voting that damned well should be. 

I'll avoid ranting further but the fact is, avoiding politics isn't 
always possible. "In Soviet Russia, politics finds YOU!"
