What's wrong with DU that we can't love one another? I know it is election season, but sometimes, we need to focus on what makes us a community. Loving one another.
I don't give a shit if I get made fun of by every member of Freep, CC, and the rest of them for saying that I love this community.
Politics aside, we spend time here, and we are a family.

What makes us a community is shared interests. Most of us don't know each other at all.
