On, well, everything...

As you probably know by now, when I have something to say, I say it. Usually it's in fits and starts on all of the threads in this forum. Sometimes it's a theory I need to air, sometimes it's a rant, and sometimes it's long and rambling. This is all of those. And a bit more.

We are Conspiracy Theorists, Liberals, Commies, Deaniacs, Drama Queens, Bitchy, Kerrycrats, Vegetarians, Gay, Straight, Bi-sexual, Black, White, Red, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Anarchists, Greens, Independents, Republicans, Moderate, Fundamental, Religions, Athiest, Crazy, Brilliant, and Stupid. We are, all of us, something. We are. You have to be.

So, when the Corporate Media labels us as any of the above, that's not entirely their fault. When someone that some admire offers two contrasting statements from the same lawyer and tries to make sense of it (as we all are), that's not entirely his fault.

To those who do not like being labeled a conspiracy theorist: "What if?" is a golden phrase. It makes scientists, writers, philosophers, politicians, inventors, conspiracy theorists and so much more. It shows thinking and imagination. Never stop asking "What if?" Don't be bothered by who calls you what. Just realize that if you wear your Tin Foil Hat out of the house, people are going to notice it on your head.

When this place exploded last night, it was a sight to see. A gigantic pie fight. Some of us hid in the kitchen (where the best parties always are!). Some of us hid in the Lounge. Some of us with strong constitutions (no pun intended) stuck it out in the pits. It is not unthinkable that we would be at odds on many issues. This is the beauty of Liberalism. You can have your own opinion and we will accept it. That's what we do. More power to all of us. But let's not waste that energy. Let's use our power for good instead of evil.

We went off on each other on so many threads asking everything from What's up with John Kerry, Kerry's lawyers, Keith Olbermann, Keith Olbermann's blog, What's Going on? Who are these people? Do you have a match? and Who the hell are you? to Shut the Hell up!

It is imperative that we all focus on our goals. Let's not waste time fighting the small, stupid fights amongst ourselves. We have many more important things to concentrate on: election reform, democracy, the BFEE, the future of the country and the view of our country around the world, to name but a few.

So, towards the goal of unity and sanity: DU Rocks. This Election Results Forum Rocks! We all Rock!

Or put more plainly:

"Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole
Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us...
In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.

But what we found out is that each one of us is
...a brain...
...and an athlete...
...and a basket case...
...a princess...
...and a criminal...

Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours,
the Breakfast Club."

Much love, peace and WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?????
