General Discussion

(2,921 posts)I think both Bigtree and Redqueen are passionate about their issues and bring important knowledge and insight into the discussions(along with yourself). I also think there is an attention burnout phase where the students (DU readers) need an occasional recess that both posters might want to keep aware of. (I know, there is the Lounge)
I've gotten caught up on issues in the past (income inequality) and felt pushed out by the lack of response and backlash from those that didn't agree with my positions. I decided to walk away from DU for a while (2005-2012), read what others have to say, and listen and learn from the discussions. I'm becoming more of a socialist as time rolls on and digging my heels in deeper.
I hope both return after a short break because I think both issues (race and gender) are tremendously important ones.
Peace
