Reply #26: I found DU back when * was running his mouth about

[Systematic Chaos]

(not verbatim, certainly) "not believing the rumors and gossip on the internet about the administration."

I NEVER cared for how the 2000 election went down, but at that time I didn't bother voting because I just didn't have the energy to care. I was too busy holing myself up in my room doing nothing when I wasn't at work.

But, when I saw on the news how * was trying to dissuade people from checking out other information sources, it convinced me that there was just too much good information floating around out there to pass up. I don't remember exactly what order I found the sites in, but I did a google about "Bush" and "conspiracies" and I seem to remember the Grudge Report (which completely made up my mind that something was VERY wrong with the entire handling of 9/11), Buzzflash and a number of other sites showing up. Either DU was one of those sites, or I found a link from somewhere else. In any case, I was just thrilled to find a forum where so many people thought along basically the same lines that I did.

Thanks to this site, I was happy to get out and vote for the first time in 2002, at the age of 33. But, I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to do more than that. When time, resources and health permit, I hope to be able to do more and accomplish more so that we can get rid of all the pigs who are in office right now. And, I must add that it's SOOOOOO fun to be able to effectively argue with the co-workers I have who are just so unabashedly ignorant about what's really going on.

When I'm not gaming on the computer, this is the website I spend the most time on by far. I'm glad I found this place and I think I'd be lost without it. Keep up the good work, everyone!
