I gather he's also a gun enthusiast. Just because someone was once a Linux 
advocate doesn't make necessarly make this person correct or in agreement in all 
things. If I give a star for people who use free software or Linux, who cycle, 
and who actively use solar or wind energy, a lot of my friends have one or two 
stars, but none have all! ;-)

However one would expect some correlation between environmental views and 
embracement of free software in spite of the Eric Raymonds of this world. And of 
course there are people who rebell against everything. They use Linux because 
90%+ use something else, they are climate and evolution sceptics because 90%+ 
scientists aren't, etc.
