85. Welcome to DU, Susan Calvin!

Mar 2017

I would love to see her return to the front lines. We need her! We need that strength, those brains, and that heart. I suspect her reemergence would spark a fair amount of buyer's remorse. People may appreciate her more.

I don't care what it is. We need her and I want her back in the trenches again, on active mode. The sooner the better.
