Porn does not belong in the same discussion as racism. Should there be limits on Drupal? The other day, I saw an advertisment for Robert Half and associates, who were advertising for a Drupal developer in San Francisco. Turns out the job was for a military recruiter.

I, personally, found the idea a little antithetical.

Then the other day, I found a site that was for a libertarian politician who was slightly to the right of most American Neocons -- who'd been bragging that he was using the same software as DailyKos -- I pointed out that Markos used Scoop, but demurred in that the persistance of that awful kludge could only be explained using words like "hypertrophy" and congradulated the candidate on having selected a superior platform.

Having volunteered some time with DeanSpace, and just as a general perception, I tend to think of Drupal as being left-leaning and actually very family friendly (and I can probably count myself as nearly family-hostile) -- but I also really LIKE my perception. When I read about this module, I, too, had a "well, there goes the neighborhood" reaction that probably really wasn't warrented.

But in all, I welcome anyone who wants to use Drupal.

Anyone.

And myself, I would as soon see Drupal remain open to anyone.

And if somebody wants to use Drupal to promote race wars or hatred or Digital Rights Management, I think they should be able to download the software, install it, try to get support in the forums and struggle with theming, just like anyone else.

Then, when their site is up and RUNNING, we can all converge on them en masse, like zombies in a George Romero flick, and strip the flesh from their bones. The best disinfectant being sunlight and all.

In other words, I think Drupal should just be software, and not a platform for a particular idealogy; so long as it remains open and free, its already serving a host of values that are universally recognized and of the greatest importance in promoting social progress.

Community and free speech are pretty important, and those are only two.
