Yes, we want to talk about it, but does it need to be in StackOverflow? Is there a StackExchange for politics?

Can you really stay out of politics? Ten years from now, what if Spolski is in jail and SO closed down. Then what?

Spolsky's post was specifically about the SO community. It was the best place and the best time to post it.

If you disagree, feel free to moderate the post for irrelevance, I know they have a mechanism to do that over there.
