Questioning why something gets down voted is a great way to get more down votes, but I gotta ask, why did this get down voted? Is this just a bot going and down voting anything that appears against the current administration? I am now taking a stand so I really don't care about karma points. If you down voted my comment, or this one, tell me why. Democracies die without discussion so share you disagreement and discuss it. That would actually be a great feature for HN, no down vote without a comment or you loose a karma point yourself.
