Linux Endorses Obama

Linus Torvalds, creator and head developer of the Linux kernel, has just written a thoughtful post supporting Barack Obama.  I have always been a fan of his philosophical outlook (including calling the OpenBSD team a bunch of masturbating monkies) and this post affirms that.  He avoids calling out McCain directly, but it is clear that black and white thinking and being exclusive to one issue results in exclusionary and negative practices.  John Stewart once joked that Republicans love America, but they just hate half of it.  While it is ironic that the joke uses the same black and white thinking I am commenting on I do think it applies and shows a striking difference between the candidates.

I'd also love to see how the candidates would respond to some questions measuring Kohlberg's moral development.
