7. Many of my fellow DU'ers do not fear, cry, bleed, or love the same way I do.

Many here don't cry or fear the same way I do.

I've seen it in their posts. We are different and our goals do not follow the same path.

We need progress. We can not afford the path of corporate welfare in exchange for broken ceilings. We can not afford a state of war over a boom in infrastructure rebuilding. We can not afford failing education over loan profits for "banks". We can not afford the health insurance industry.

Pipe dreams?

We can not afford to stand back and say 'it is the way it is because we refuse to try.'

Many of my fellow DU'ers do not fear, cry, bleed, or love the same way I do.
