Just kinda broke at the moment. I try to keep my donations to once a year here so I can donate to things like the Pakistan crisis, which I just did. It has nothing to do with how DU is at any given time.

I also take breaks now and then from political topics to keep my sanity. Not because I don't feel the same about this place, but because the discourse in this country IN GENERAL has become so antagonistic. It's everywhere, not just here. It's been all out war of words on Obama by the Repubs since the inauguration pretty much. And a new group to hate every week. Ugh.

Compared to the regular media and other discussion boards I've seen, this place is quite civil :-)
