According to ESR, most FOSS developers are Libertarian-minded. Not the Ron Paul types, either; The ones that do vote overwhelmingly lean big L. While HN leans towards Socialist Liberalism overall (California, Saskatchewan), that also means that you're likely to find few people sympathetic to the aims of D.A.R.E. on this site.

All in all, a fantastic troll. Good work, sir.

On a semi-related note, I'd like to make the bold statement that half of the programs on your computer are the direct result of Cocaine, Amphetamines, and Cannabis. If you're a Linux user, this number is probably much higher. Most software developers, especially those working more-than-40-hour work weeks, are using some sort of amphetamine, usually Adderall, to keep focused and productive. The Californians here probably know at least one software developer with a Cannabis License. Drug use at EA and Adobe is legendary amongst former employees.

Am I wrong in my thinking?
