15. Your posts do more to inspire people here than much of what passes for discussion lately

on DU H2OMan. I just discovered this OP searching for something even worth reading. Thank you for providing something that makes sticking around here, worthwhile.

Who can do battle with this beast? When one considers its true nature, the scope can seem overwhelming: for this system has spread like a virus throughout our culture. There are fewer and fewer uncontaminated segments in the United States today. Unchecked, as the US becomes part of a feudal estate on a global scale, where the 1% lives in gated communities while dictating how many crumbs will be divided up among the peasant class, it threatens to become entrenched, beyond repair.

Helping this along, imho, is the constant messaging we get, now even on Democratic Forums: 'We can't do this or that, iow, don't even try or you are 'looking for a Liberal Messiah' or some such nonsense. Talking points designed to UNINSPIRE rather than inspire are pretty rampant especially during election years.

I prefer 'Aim for the sky and you may hit a tree' as inspiration rather than the one we see dragged out each election cycle: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good' which translates to 'all you can expect is mediocre at best' iow, keep your expectations low.

Thanks again for the OP.
