I would agree if it weren't for the following: There are already many political topics discussed here. That's a reality. As people always point out, they are interesting to large number of people. Maybe HN is over the purely-technical-topics phase. I know many Americans read HN and this is a great opportunity to spread the word amongst those who might not have the experience to care. U.S. is still a democracy and at least in terms of public popularity its politicians care about their citizens' opinions. So, no Pearl scripts, but maybe this will help strengthen the U.S. position which is of paramount importance at this point.
