I'm pretty disappointed by the votes down on all of javert's comments on these posts. Political opinion is welcome on this site in other threads, this just seems to be suppression of an unpopular point of view. It's also disingenuous to ask the poster questions about their POV and vote them down at the same time. If the questions are more than rhetorical (and if they're only rhetorical, then that's a waste of a post), then you should be willing to listen to the answers. If you'd like HN to be a place w/o political discussions at all, then vote down the OP and the link--not the comments that follow.
