There is zero that the DOJ can do to right the injustice in Ferguson

Manny is someone who has a strong effect on the forum, good, bad or ugly. Sometimes he will achieve his aims, ie a home run strong positive effect and sometimes he will strike out. Me, most of the time I bunt and I try to swing for the stands only when I get one right in the middle of the strike zone which does not happen all that often.

You also try to have an effect here, as does everyone who posts. We all want our words our mind children noticed, commented on, some of us are more effective at that than others.

On the other hand I've sometimes found that the most powerful posts will sink because they leave nothing to add, I've seen it happen here on DU before, lots of recs and very few or even no substantive replies.

There's a lot of things I could say here that I don't because I don't feel like engaging in the inevitable ensuing argument that will as you so delicately put it, stir the shit.

You can go back and look if you wish, by no means do I rec every Manny thread, I think he strikes out pretty often but when he connects solidly on a subject it's powerful. Which of course is why he draws so much attention, good, bad and ugly.
