[ale] Big Brother Wins, We lose... From /. Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0

[Mike Murphy]

Thanks, I can unsubscribe myself if I choose to do so.

Discussion of politics seems to lead to nothing but ad-hominem attacks 
(see "ASSume" comment in slightly earlier email). I just don't think 
that's productive, and I know its not inclusive. As the saying goes: 
never discuss politics or religion in polite company.

I guess the blood is in the water now. If you guys want to shout me 
down, and burn bandwidth on this, go nuts. Or maybe someone should just 
invoke Godwin's law and end this now? If I want to watch (and 
participate in) a flame war over partisan politics, I'm sure I can find 
that elsewhere, but a quality local Linux resource such as this is a bit 
harder to find.

I wonder (or maybe worry is the better word) that this stuff is going to 
drive people off in droves if it continues, and deter new folks from 
speaking up. If that's the way you guys want it, proceed.

Mike
