And there are a lot of users who wish the team had chosen another name,
simply because of the juvenile politics and social issue crap that go
along with the name.  I don't want lefty politics and social feelgood on
my desktop - I only want an outstanding OS, which Ubuntu is.  I like the
linux and gnu philosophies, but beyond that I say leave it at home.

Saying you don't think CafeExpress should be used because they sell
"right-wing political merchandise for $$" is absolutely ridiculous.
Grow up.
