I seem to be reminded of a particular rallying cry when I see these pie fights occurring.
United we Stand, Divided- We Fall
It's safe to say that we are all disappointed in a myriad of things. Frustrated by how the poor still go hungry, the unemployed cannot find jobs.
But instead of working to produce tangible gains, we throw organized bytes onto a server, looking for affirmation of our views- which is perfectly fine.
Are we the change we wish to see? Does this move the ball forward? I ask that every time I post the "Publish" button.
So, as my contribution to the Meta of the Moment, I ask the community to think hard about whether throwing the pies around, while it does feel good, helps.
And I mean this with all respect and sincerity.
