Three Things I Have Learned From DU [View All]

[Zomby Woof]

Perhaps I would have learned of these issues from my own initiative, or from other sources, and with twice the legwork, but I learned them here, from a variety of knowledgable, intelligent, and informed members.

1. Tort reform. When this was made a hot-button issue by the GOP some months back, I got the inside dirt which separated the wheat from the chaff. With the emotionalism and propaganda weeded out, I came to a much deeper understanding on why the Republicans fought so hard for it.

2. E-voting reform. This one explains itself.

3. The breakdown of the faulty intelligence leading up to the Iraq war. You couldn't find this stuff out in the mainstream media. Well, not for at least literally two years later. DU seems like a crystal ball because of this kind of 'breaking news'.
