those who can not afford $60 per year to take part. Really? Yes, it is far more important than the damned stars. Are you among those here who claim to understand the issues behind OWS and the gross inequalities that pervade our society and yet are so clueless why some of us are arguing against making DU such a "have versus have not" community?

Honestly, Ruby ... Give it some thought. I donate regularly. Not always a great deal, but I donate. If I have extra money, I love being able to donate for those who can not. There is nothing I want to see less than to have this place become a "one percenter" community. Those suffering economic set backs have enough embarrassment, sadness, depression in their lives without being made to feel useless and no longer part of the DU community--even if all they can afford is the minimum donation.
