chromatic made an interesting point about the "open source community". It came hot on the heels of a really interesting piece I heard on our totally leftie radio station about how "the right" is a loose alliance of groups with different agendas who take issues one at a time and unite on those that they have sufficient common ground on to put aside their differences, even though on many issues they disagree, bicker, and fight each other. There's a strong parallel between the two coalitions, in thos respects at least.
