DU and activism is the act of water on rock (an analogy)
Well now, January 6th as come and gone. The lesson I have learned is our passion and desire to be heard in the congress and the success we had today can be best stated with an analogy, " Were have had the impact of water on rock after a hard freeze." To explain, we (the water) have crept into those fine cracks and crevasses that all rocks (attack on democracy and our way of life) have a with the help of freezing temperature (patriotism and activism) expanded that water and ever so slightly weakened the integrity of the rock (were heard). However, one freeze is not enough, we need to keep on expanding and contracting (continue to fight)time and time again to break that rock.

2. EXCELLENT POST!
May I also add this?
If a sword is placed in a eternal pool of water,
over time which will endure over time?
heh-heh...
water will rust the sword into nothingness everytime.
