I get that you are scared. There is a lot to be scared about. Only people who don't care are not scared. You care. I care. Most of DU cares. But we didn't start the fire. The fire's been burning since the world's been turning.

We are here for each other. It is good and proper for you to sound off that you care. Just don't take anything from DU too personally.

Besides, I just about failed English.
