Suddenly I'm also having all those memories of what it was like on a daily basis during the Bush administration. The accusations of being terrorist sympathizers. The invitations to leave the US because you were being unpatriotic.

There was a time when you put yourself in danger for speaking out. It was better to shut up and lay low. Those were the days when DU was a sanity oasis in a world gone mad.
