Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Lego

Anybody else sick of Lego and Python?
This is an understandable response to the horror and its effect on slashdot. It is an attempt to create a common culture among geeks.
Well I think everyone should look at the debates on the Slashdot site about the WTC bombing, and look at all the different perspectives, and you will see that we all come from very differenet cultures and these cultures determine our views on important questions. We cannot really create a common culture with Nerf, Athlon, Linux, Monty Python, or Star Wars.
I think that the slashdot editors are posting stories like this in order to bring back together a community which could easily fracture over the WTC retaliation arguments and arguments about safety, liberty and security.
It is far more important to work through these arguments than to distract readers from them. This site has a constituency with the most chance of any to shed light on all perspectives of security and freedom questions, at least w/r/t technology.
Although slashdot editors might not like >1K comments in a story, those threads will be more useful, and the conclusions from them more lasting, if we post these stories instead of Monty Python crap. Let the front page have space for these debates, and sideline Monty and Legos into the humor section.

A thousand apologies to all I may have misled, it was actually a home-made version before.
I will never again jump to conclusions
