| 75. Yeah, and? Are we not here to do something to promote our progressive ideals? |
|
Because to criticize, condemn and complain about those who are our BEST HOPE in making progressive change is just plain foolish.
Substituting a bitch session in the place of a positive dialogue about ways to uphold and encourage progressive reforms not only wastes our time and energy, but is ultimately self-defeating.
