Boring? That's a funny assumption. The presence of politics is required for work to be fun? Sounds like a nightmare to me. I love the lack of politics at work. It really makes it more pleasant-- almost an escape from an otherwise over-politically involved society. I can't turn on the news or open the browser (sometimes even IRC) without politics seeping in. It allows me to stay focused on work, not on what people think about/how I might be judged on my non-work related opinions. Nor that there could be favoritism based on such things. It levels the playing field. There are numerous articles discussing any non-liberal voices resulting in people being let-go/fired at various California-based technology companies.
