5. Why am I on DU, or why am I here in the larger, metaphysical sense? |
|
If it's the former, then I'm here to share ideas with politically like-minded fellows, occasionally have some laughs, and once in a while shamelessly self-promote my blog.
If it's the latter, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a nihilist.

As per my recent OP, I never want to go back to those days again when I wasn't aware of everything going on. I'm here because to not be here means going back to be ignorant of what's going on around us.

19. When I started coming out of my blue funk in the summer of 01 |
|
I knew there had to be more people who felt like I did, that knew these people to be idiots and thieves, so I started looking around. I followed a trail of crumbs that led me here in October of 01, I'm here because my mental health demands it, because I'd rather be with like minded intelligent people than knuckle dragging bushiesa, that's why I'm here.

it isn't illegal to be here and I don't want it to become illegal to be able to be informed so I come here to be a "number" amongst like thinking liberals and to show the * people that there are people out there that don't buy their hogwash and won't.
In other words, I come here to be informed, be a member of a liberal message board, and to have some fun while I do all of that :P

56. My mom and dad had premarital sex and had to get married, and then ... |
|
Was "upper lower class" kid in Philly ... went to public school and a protestant church ... played b-ball in a Baptist Church, my best friends were all Catholics ... went to a Jesuit University, then grad school in TX.
Got a good job in DC, got married, moved to NC. Made good money, saw my 401k climb. US leading peace efforts around the world. Peace breaking out all over. Had 2 kids.
Its the year 2000. And the world looks so bright I gotta wear shades.
Then GW became President. 911. Had 3rd Child. Iraq. US economy shifts BACK to defense and oil from INFORMATION. Right wing wants to teach my kids about THEIR SCARY GOD. Our government starts to focus on imposing a narrow set of right wing morals on everyone.
Started to donate to the Dems. Started to read everything I could on current political situation, potential futures. Started quizing friends on same.
Started to read and post on a few message boards.
And recently found DU. I think I'm up to ~8 posts ... I still have a long way to go :-)

Seriously, I am here because I searched and searched the internet for a place that wasn't right wing, and I (thankfully!)found this place. I lurked for years and then finally decided to enter the fray and throw my .02 into the maelstrom (what little I have to contribute, anyway). Before I found DU I was filled with despair over the future of our country. Now I have a little hope that we can correct the horrible mistakes our "leaders" have made. Thank You DU!
