10. We DUers and true progressives need to stick together:
It seems we're the only humans left, in America.

If the centrists can be pro-America and pro-American-jobs, then I'd be happy with them too. But the business/corporate sect is all too happy to use the internet and any other means to destroy America's economic foundationc completely; one they started around 1979 or 1980, judging by too many graphs showing the decline in worker wages, increase of CEO wages, increase of work being done by people... we're killing ourselves for less. This is not a democracy...

We can all dream of a "one world" concept. But this is reality. Reality on this planet is composed of different countries, different ethnicities, different beliefs. Being progressive is to be tolerant of others' viewpoints within reason and treat people equally within our country but still being America first, while maturely dealing with the other nations of the world.

Now consider people like *, Hitler, Stalin, the list goes on. They all have one thing in common: They wish to proactively push their beliefs onto everybody else and cull who they don't see to be fit in their "new order". And every time one of these animals makes the attempt, all hell breaks loose and the damage they cause is considerable.

Difference is, up until now, nobody had nukes.

Don't give up on humankind. Find the good ones and forge local alliances with them. As for the rest, let them eat green pigmented papercloth.
