Reply #7: Sometimes it's so disheartening...

[bliss_eternal]

I get encouraged, and excited sometimes when I see people get fired up about something and they are posting and seeking support for something they'd like to try (ie. writing or petitioning a govt. office, senator, etc.). I just love seeing people "doing" something, anything they feel passionate about!

Then inevitably, others jump in and tell them not to bother, or that they shouldn't do it as it will make us all look bad or some such thing. :banghead:

Like you, I'll never understand why some don't just move along and allow others to do what they want, when they want, how they want--without seeming to need to (excuse the expression), piss in their proverbial cornflakes.

Sometimes our board seems a bit too much like those they complain about, the sheeple, as they say. :shrug: I just don't get it.
