Why are you assuming you're going to get flamed? Seems like a weird
assumption to me....

I personally liked the response that came through from Michael
Richardson that talked about some of the "cons" of the Green Party
policy. There was certainly no flaming in that response. I personally
think it is completely appropriate to talk about what policies we WOULD
like to see implemented. There is no reason why the Ubuntu community
can't advocate for open source/open standards across ALL political
parties without it degrading into a flamefest.
