My 1000th post

[againes654]

I can not think of anything great to say. I am sad at the state this country is in. I am frustrated by our leaders in both parties. I am mad at the racial undercurrents still running strong in this country. I am baffled at the level of ignorance we posses. I am in wondrous amazement at the shredding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and those that are letting it happen. I am stunned at the atrocities performed in the name of "security".

I am most of all concerned. I am concerned for my children, your children, and all future generations. I am also at a loss. I don't know what to do or how to make things better. I don't even know if people REALLY want things to get better.

My short time on DU has been informative, interesting, and a little hairy at times. DU gives me hope. For the most part, the people on DU are great. I have learned things here, that I would have never known. I have formed opinions, and realized just how little I actually know. I think it is great that we have a place where we can come and voice our frustrations and share in each others pain. Sometimes I don't know what I would do without DU!

So thank you DU'ers for making my first 1000 posts memorable, and heres to hoping that the posts to come just get better and better! :toast:

1. Congrats!

It took me 2 1/2 years to reach a thousand posts, probably because I type the way W. ran oil companies and baseball teams. Oh, and the country.

2. Thank you!!

:hi:

I respond to alot of posts. I am trying to slow down, and not get involved in the flame-wars (which can easily give you 20 posts).

3. That will do it.

Brace yourself. When primary season rolls around, there'll be a lot of flames to avoid...
