so...can i ask for some support in GD? [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/100210975

seriously wrote an OP about how to have to conversation with those who are trashing the movement's tactics...and it amazes me how many HERE are acting the very same way...lots of contempt for a movement that is supposed to be helping ALL of us. It's funny...people WANT change...but are unwilling to give up their comfort and such to achieve it...

hmm...sounds like spiritual awakening too...many want to consider themselves of a higher mind, but are unwilling to do the messy work to get there...

anyway, your help and thoughts are always appreciated
