I've been on DU since 2003 and this is the first time such a thing has ever happened.

It's a nice feeling, as it's just nice to connect with others that have a similar POV. An it's nice to realize I'm not posting merely for my own amusement, which is frankly how it feels most of the time.

But I persevere. Like my hero Frank Zappa, when asked for the secret of his success; "First, don't stop. Second, keep going."

This is actually a fulfillment of what I feel are my obligations of citizenship. I think my Stony Brook Long Island public education really did a great job teaching me American History. Our Founding Fathers really did do a lot of heroic things to strive to create a more perfect union. And we owe them a debt for that legacy and we should honor it by learning it and respecting it and following it and improving it.

And that's what pisses me off about modern American Oligarchy; it disrespects everything we as Americans are supposed to stand for!

It's too bad the founding Fathers weren't in the White House on 9-11. Wait. That's ridiculous. If they were, there would have been no 9-11 in the first place!
