joediga's Journal: Why are there so many liberal geeks ???

I have been pondering why there seems to be so much liberal sludge being offered in the /. forums. I have come up with a germ of a theory:

It probably stems from the way most geeks are persecuted and bullied from the time they are young. Many don't develop ways to cope and turn out as completely spineless, amoral wrecks. I'm not terribly surprised about the 'geek response' on this war against Saddam. Geeks, in general, have too much baggage to be able to cope with some of the ideas represented: Standing up for yourself, Self-defence by action, justice, sharing liberty with others, etc...
