22. Even at times

when this forum reaches low points, there is generally a community of good and decent people here -- many on this thread -- who are still invested in discussing important concepts and issues. A couple of DU:GD sub-groups can, at times, engage in annoying attempts to disrupt, as you well know. But it still provides that sounding board.

And it definitely is a local-to-national issue. And it spans time. Many good people too often expect immediate results from the work we invest today. That is part of our "instant" culture, I think. Some of us are from other, often older cultures. I learned long ago that what work I do in my lifetime may not result in significant changes that I live to see. But that doesn't lessen or negate the importance of that work. It builds a foundation for the next people who will be fighting the Good Fight, because it is the right thing to do.
