D.U. is a bubble

[orangecrush]

Thank God.

It's an island of sanity, where I can come to find out what's going on without stroking out or breaking stuff.

Where I'm among friends.

Where lies are called out.

Thanks for having me.

1. My happy place

Sometimes there are disrupters or those that don’t want to play nice.

But EarlG has a good system and environment that has been built with our community and it is a good place.

A lot of smart and wise people of various backgrounds who can help bring up important information and discussions.

2. Everyone is in a bubble...

Just find the least bad one and be glad you did.

3. A sanctuary.

A place of like minded, reasonable thinkers. Where heart matters as much as intellect. Where we strive to be better people who debate with critical thinking and sound evidence. Unfortunately, I think we are in the minority.

4. A place of refuge indeed

but don't forget to venture out often for a different perspective to challenge the mind. It's good medicine 💊 to help keep one sharp and alert.

8. Various views

I peruse FR daily for the comments, it is like the comic section. Unbelievable that people actually write that stuff. I think everyone should sign their name, if you write you should own it.

5. It is my lifeline to sanity.

Great community. Thank you for having me, too.

6. Some bubbles act as a filter

to obscure the reality outside, other bubbles act as a lens to focus the reality outside so we can better understand it.

I prefer the latter.

13. I know, I swear I would not be here if it weren't for DU......well that's a bit dramatic

but seriously, DU has ALWAYS come through for moi.

14. What worries me

Is that with full control of the government, cracking down on free speech won't have to be by force.

They tried it during Bush.

Change the law to make it easy to go after those who criticize legally.

Perhaps even with criminal penalties.

Sites like this can't deal with that kind of legal battle financially.

Daily Kos is dealing with it right now, and they haven't even started yet.

It makes me shudder.

15. This was one of the few places I could debate in '01

No attacks on females here, no insults, Admin and the mods kept things honest and civil.

16. Thank God -- and thank the founders, the 3 young men with a Democratic vision. What they did, & do, is important.
