I can't speak with experience about the region east of Idaho and west of Ohio though, which I'd guess holds a different average view on this issue, but then I don't suppose that region is awash with debian users either.You've never heard the aphorism "never talk politics or religion in the pub", have you?So, "User Of Debian" implies "I think GWB is an idiot"?
No. Most people think he's an idiot. And most people think the reason TB's ears are so big is from chaffing them so regularly while extracting his head from George's sphincter. This is a common view, all over the world, as I've said. To appreciate that last sentence you must be aware that there's so much more to the world than the USA.
As for debian users being anti Bush... good grief Ron, what planet are you on? ;O) My closure was a liitle vague, I concede, but no more than a nod to the fact that this is obviously a debian community in which we're strangely flirting with political issues. So if I'm right in guessing the Great Conservative Mid West is a tad light in free software advocates then it seems likely that we won't see many flame throwers in here against the anti bush/blair brigade. I'd hate for this to become any more than a bit of light opinionated banter though. Politics... each to his own, eh?
