3. Don't know what to say about the freeper comments...
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 09:41 AM by IndyOp
If you can muster up the courage to do so - confront them - maybe one at a time at the appropriate moment. Each time they speak out with no one objecting they get stronger. The power of social pressure is *HUGE.* We fear being ignored, ridiculed, harrassed, fired -- and little of what we fear would come to pass if we speak out now. Let a year or two go by and it will be as bad as we might imagine.

Day before yesterday I posted a color map of Cuyahoga county showing the majority of spoiled ballots occurred in African American areas of the county. I thought I would catch flack from it - so far not a word. A couple of good conversations and no flack.

I am glad you are a DU'er -- I get a lot of support from having my ideas respected here. Hang with us, we'll help keep each other sane.
