[ale] technology/politics correlation?

[Jerald Sheets]

I dunno...

There's a few types of us conservatives.  For instance (and this should
scare you), I find folks like Rush somewhat to the Left of where I tend to
hang out, but I was an early (1993) adopter of Linux.  So, the mold doesn't
completely hold, but I understand how what you say could be true.

That's kinda interesting.  I guess liberal folks are more likely to
experiment and try alternative things (OSes and/or browsers), whereas
conservative folks are more conservative in their actions and therefore more
likely to stick with the status quo.  What's all this mean?  Probably
nothing.  It's like the statistics that show IQ levels per political
inclinations.  "Ironically" the places with the largest concentrations of
highest-IQs, are the places with all the problems.  Now, what does that
mean?  Again, probably nothing.  ;-)
