54. That's exactly what I am saying
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 05:40 PM by WilliamPitt
or not.

People get mad at me for describing the victimhood pathology around here, and then along comes someone like you, who proves my point in Technicolor.

What I said in the referenced thread was simple: A lot of DUers were going to get emotionally savaged by the looming process. Prediction: 100% correct. I am anxious for that emotional discord to get itself on down the road, so we can all settle in to the hard work ahead.
