I was reading DU back then...never joined, until recently. Even with the bad, I still see the good here too. Some really Great People, that believe as I do. Blind supporters...no we are not.

Change will never happen in the blink of an eye. We know that, and are patient. Others seem to want everything yesterday. Wise people know that we will never get it all. However we can change things, we can crack the foundations...cracks will get bigger then break away. It takes time. I have the patience to see these things through.

Have I felt like leaving, sure just this morning. However I plan to stay for now and fight tooth and nail for what I believe in. That would be, This President and Vice President. They are the best thing that has ever happened to this Country!
