Per the discussion on the talk page, I have deleted it.

My style, as most of you probably know, is to have a very light touch.
I do not want to be heavy handed in any way about what the exact
direction of various parts of the site should be.  But I would like to
provide some light guidance early on, to set a joyful and productive
tone where we (ironically enough) leave politics at the door. :)

I have friends on all sides of the political spectrum, and there is a
really unfortunate tendency to assume that "the other side" is filled
with morons, or benefits from stupidity, etc.  I don't think that is
true, and this whole attitude is part of what I want us to try to cure. :)
