I see your point, but I wonder if there isn't a way to do it with more respect? Maybe there isn't...I don't know. But watching the proverbial "venom and vitriol" here at DU, I don't see results or progress made toward anything meaningful. Just more anger, venom and vitriol.

People have a right to be pissed. MANY people are pissed about MANY things and AT many people.

How can this be used in a more constructive manner as you suggest, here at DU, especially when people have so many different perceptions of things for a variety of reasons -- logical reasons, good reasons? We all perceive things differently based on many factors. Some people are able to nearly EVERYTHING clearly in black and white, and others -- like myself -- not so much. Life is pretty much gray to me. LOL

Which is why this "governing" thing and being a responsible citizen is so very, very hard.

Do you, or anyone else, have any more constructive ideas to implement here at DU instead of people expending so much time and energy just being pissed at one another rather than using that energy to DO something? I know many people ARE doing things, but the battles here turn many off from the whole process, IMHO.
