Yeah - I've been alerted on again. I'm outta here - actually, I posted that I was yesterday. Thing is, I said things SO divisive that that too was removed. What are you rubes afraid of? I said I'm outta here. Those I leave behind - tighten your blinders and get out your wallets. Your instructions will be forthcoming. LOL! You've forgotten one transgression: "Do not smear, insult, vilify, bait, ...." You've left out: Think for yourself. Fortunately, for me, my mom and dad passed on genes that empowered me to be able to objectively assess situations I might find myself in. Not only assess them, but conduct myself responsibly as I see fit. I served in Vietnam (voluntarily, no less) because I wanted to experience a war zone and also (ignorantly) under the guise of protecting our country's freedoms. Prior to going overseas, they taught me how to shoot, march in unison, fold my socks and look ONLY straight ahead. I did all that and was eventually honorably discharged. Now I'm being discharged again - by MY choosing. It's actually as good thing for DU as it is for me. I will get more tangible results with my other pursuits - while one more troublemaker get's purged in pursuit of the idealistic purity. Everybody wins!

It's a shame you're the one being forced out instead of those entry-level slobbering jackbooted brownshirts who insist we lobotomize ourselves of any independent reasoning or thought.

Thanks for your service, bud. Hope to see you out there somewhere. Good luck.
