If any mod is reading this, I think it may be smart to close this thread down, since it will spiral into political drama very soon.

I complained recently that political discussions are too easily suppressed on HN, and dang's response was that they inevitably veer into flame wars, and that preemptively flagging political threads is necessary / ok. I hope this thread continues to disprove that, since HN is an important place for political discussion to be happening.
I rather enjoy that the mods apparently want to keep those topics a bit out of the limelight and focus on technical subjects.
