Have we become "nattering nabobs of negativity"?

[Perky]

It occurs to me that GD has on occasion become a cesspool of endless rants. It is not that we do not have every right to be pissed off and speak our minds. And I certainly am in no way suggesting that we give an inch to this bloody regime.


But.....

Life is too short....too precious.......to be continually angry and continually despair. We will survive this national nightmare and as corrosive as these guys have been to America and its standing in the world, I take great solace in the fact that these guys will be gone in about a year and a half. I take great comfort in rulings like the one out of Richmond yesterday.

I take great joy in seeing we have such a fine field of candidates to replace this administration.

At the end of the day I KNOW we will survive as a a nation. We may never be the nation any of us want us to be, but that is factored in to the cost of this grand experiment.

The point is this it can be mentally unhealthily to live our lives full of anger and despair. Get off the net for awhile. It is summer and things are heating up as our respective candidates vie for our allegiance and our cash. Get out among the people. Volunteer. Help build a house for Habitat. Get involved in voter registration efforts. Be progressive by getting out from behind your keyboard.


Folks it will get better...Promise. But if we think it happens simply by ranting about Bushco in our insulated online community we are deceiving ourselves.



Cheers.
