37. I think it means DU is an attractor and that....
...it's efforts to organize, coordinate and dig deep, quickly, into systemic disenfranchisement, potentially build case support for legal action, focus efforts to convince members of both the US HR and Senate to refuse to repeat 6 Jan 2001, and truly uncover the scum that has nearly wrecked our Constitution and our franchise of democracy -- well, what do you expect to happen ;-)

The beauty of what I've observed (and I've only been here a short time) is that for those of us who are prepared to die to prevent the trashing of our democracy, by the gravest threat since Jefferson Davis walked out of the US Senate, we have a place to contribute whatever energy, thoughts and efforts we can muster to that cause.

The other beauty of the site (and, in a somewhat different way dKos, and, again, in a different but effective way, Brad Blog) is that it is so very very easy to gage effectiveness of the effort to uncover the threat and force action against it -- you just watch those who come bounding in with all kinds of silly little gestures. The only problem with that stuff is if you consume any energy responding to it. In fact, one of the ways to watch it escalate is to pay zero attention to it.

So, I'm grateful to be a part of this community and it's efforts to save our franchise of democracy and I assure you, if all of you who are committed to that goal; all of you who know when you are questioning logic, accuracy, source information -- i.e., the one's doing the much needed due diligence, I have but one small recommendation (for fun, as well as, an informative test of our effectiveness), when it appears to be a 'troll' give it zero response and watch the meter jump.

Peace.
