Reply #18: Thanks, p! These non-flaming, thought-inducing quotes [View All]

[Nothing Without Hope]

are a good way to help nudge along the huge project of "reframing." The default descriptors associated with virtues or faults so often reinforce the societal prejudices that, if asked, a person using them would disavow. It's a worthwhile, if long-term, goal to get people to think again about what they are saying. If not here, on boards loaded with progressive-minded people, then where?

Please PM me if you ever decide to form a DU group to foster this kind of reframing here or elsewhere. As I said, it's a good cause, if a long-term one.
