Why I care------
"Any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee."
------John Donne
I post this in response to those now asking "Why should we get involved with Ukraine? Why should we care?"
If the above verse is considered "naive" or "maudlin" I will gladly wear those labels. I'm a sucker for real, down-to-earth, honest words spoken---or written---with passion.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
