Knowing Their Politics by the Software They Use

It is perhaps not surprising that the parties find themselves on
different sides in the politics of software as well.

Wishful thinking to make too much of this, I believe. The DMCA, which
makes a linux user watching a DVD he's purchased a federal criminal, was a
unanimous vote in the Senate if I remember correctly. Paul Wellstone, the
sainted liberal icon, got considerable Hollywood money. And I would be
surprised if Microsoft lobbyists only offer "technical advice" to
Republicans. Fritz Hollings has been a Senator in which party?

Heh. Yeah, probably the most appropriate thought in more than one way. I
cring whenever I hear that a congressman is taking an interest in
technology.
