19. Sometimes, it seems that the discussions on DU have become more critical of each other than of the people

who want to destroy us.
DU has so many different folks, from so many different walks of life that I don't see how we agree with each other as often as we do.
I believe everyone in this country, (or country's that touch this country, or exist in close proximity,) is about as used up as we ever have been from these years of TSF and friends. Everyone is tired and grumpy and easily set to defense. So it is no wonder we are taking opposing stances to each other rather a lot of late.
And we may be enjoying the release of pain by bashing the dead guy more than our better selves would in easier times, myself included. This is a fight that we need everyone on board to win.
It is my biggest hope that we can one day all come together and act for the general good of this whole planet. But for now I'll take just electing a few honest people, and jailing many more who have been guilty of... any number of things we are not even aware of yet.
I'm rambling, my husband came home yesterday from 13 days in the hospital. After getting through this I'm just looking forward to feeling a little more grateful than my status quo. Soon enough, my angry cynicism will return.
I love conversing with you all and enjoying the hard work by some who write in depth well thought out comments. (Myself not included) You are my friends without faces. ✌🏼to all.
