Sorry to interrupt and all, but I was doing diary mining for Election Diary Rescue and I came across a diary I think was inadvertently missed by a whole lot of folks here.
Now I'm not as eloquent as the diarist, so I'll put it more awkwardly and somewhat hysterically.
Seeing even one person's hate magnified by the bright powerful lense of our worldwide giant media is damned traumatic. Seems like a hundred people, not just one.
And then when you see under that light a whole group of folks acting with such fear and hatred, it seems like several thousand.
Adept2U's diary is the antidote to such media poison. Because one thing we can never expect from our traditional media is context.
They just threw the haters on the air because it got them viewers. All right, I won't be so cynical ... there are even some MSM reporters who are doing a good job every now and then. Well, that's the least cynical I can be at this time, sorry.
Adept2U's diary gives us that context, which is why citizen journalism is so important.
And it is why we're going to change America once Obama is elected.
Someone commented somewhere or another on teh blogs that Obama winning the White House wouldn't be a step forward. After this past 8 years it'll just result in our being able to stand up so that we CAN take that step forward.
I hope you read Adept2U's diary and rec it up. It's something I think everyone would benefit from reading.
