It still amazes me how there are people who deny everything out there, whether it be Global Warming, Iraq or whatnot.
Their answer is to label a place like DailyKos as a "gathering of angry liberals" and so forth.
I don't understand. How can someone ignore the facts when they are so apparent? How can anyone listen to Gen.Petraeus or listen to the Global Warming deniers that are in full force?
How can you just ignore something that is right in front of your eyes? How can you justify your actions by hiding behind your cowardice? How can you accept a twisted reality that is nowhere like the actual reality we face?
I have to admit, it's taken a place like DK to make me open my eyes. Some of my diaries may have been rough or insulting to a few. However, how many times in your life do you get to be part of something meaningful?
I have to admit, I've been listening to the wrong people for so long. I allowed myself to become jaded. I allowed myself to decry the very causes I've always stood for.
No more. No longer. It is a privilege to be a part of a community like this. I am an addict of this community. I cannot get by a day without checking out the thoughts of people who I feel I have a lot in common with.
I've always been the kind of person to say things from the heart. Although my diaries don't get much attention, the majority of them reflect thoughts straight from the heart. This is the only community that I've felt comfortable being a part of.
And to this I say, Onward to progress! Let's end the Iraq War! Let's combat Global Warming! What's stopping us after all?
