Okay, a couple of things.
First: if you truly believe that DU is what you say in the above excerpt, then WHY THE HELL DO YOU SPEND ANY OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME HERE?
Second: when it comes to raising the level of discourse, if YOU shouldn't take the time to raise it, then WHO THE HELL SHOULD?
We are all responsible for the level of discourse here. And BTW, trying to maintain a reasonable level of discourse does not mean there will not be heated disagreements; there will It's part of what makes political discourse interesting: people are passionate about their political beliefs.
Anyway, regarding whether any of us should bother to try and raise the discourse here, I would like to direct you to this quote:
