TriLUG as a politics-free zone (was RE: [TriLUG] OT : Don't let Cheney hide)

[Shane O'Donnell]

Arguably, our basic human needs are even more important than politics, so
shouldn't this list be about making sure we have food/water, shelter,
oxygen, etc.?  Without these, we can't use Linux.  Or maybe the list should
be about distribution of electricity and our grid-based distribution of
power?  Without that, we can't use Linux.  Or maybe it should be about
brains, because without a brain, we can't use Linux...

Or maybe, you could just keep this CRAP off the list and keep the list about
Linux.

Sounds like you haven't learned the lesson from Neimoller.

politics affects everything. If you can't have your beer or run
linux because of politics, then politics should be the highest 
priority on this list.
