... the many good articles he's posted at DU.

I met David Swanson for about five minutes once, when he was in Albuquerque working for the Kucinich Campaign. I'm old enough to be his mother, and I admire what this bright young man has done to try to shine light on the many, many problems we face as a nation.

When people dare to raise their heads above the madding crowd they are very often vilified by those who are far less worthy than themselves. Envy would be one reason for that, and the critical tone of this post suggests just such a thing.

I don't know a lot about David Swanson, but he has not exactly been sitting on his hands, lobbing Internet grenades at others. He's been in attendance at many events whose sole purpose is to try to save this country -- not make David Swanson rich and famous. Should he achieve those ends, they will be richly deserved. The man can think and he can write. I wish him every success.
