1. Tomorrow will be my last day, by choice.

In GD today, there is an article about how the H-1B visas are just taking the jobs, they don't have any "specialized knowledge" that is unavailable here. But I knew that. Worked in IT my whole life. Anyway, which candidate wants to increase the number of H-1B's?

We are mourning the deaths in Orlando. Horrific. But we gloss over the deaths we directly cause overseas.

I realized I can't stay here and even read OP headlines defending and even fucking praising things we should be denouncing as right-wing.

DU is not "Democratic" any more, the "Democratic" is just a meaningless brand or buzz word here.

It is not the gloating nastiness of her supporters; that is easily ignored; it is the issues. Cannot align myself with a Third Way neo-con neo-liberal. Will not. No ridiculously perky or authoritarian screed can change that. Not even, as I have said elsewhere, a tag-team of the most persuasive Jesuit debaters could sway me.

2. I know just how you feel.. I feel that are really just the Moderate republicans of a few years ago.

They are to the right of the liberal Republicans like the Rockefellers. I am at JPR most of the time. The new system (couple of weeks) will have the look and feel of this.

I was only able to follow 5-10 threads mostly from the Front Page. So there must be much more to it, good to know..

I'm over mine after almost 12 years, wish the admins here would let us change them.
