What value is there in a whiny post asking us to spam the congress with calls to action? One person's well aimed or intended political action is another's spam. I have a grip. And a pretty solid one at that.

Obviously, there is no value in the post. But, is there any "value" in the person? She sounded young, she took the time to sign up and post. She whined about a perceived problem and a ridiculous solution to that problem.

Maybe she signed up, with the purpose of disrupting the site, directly from DU. Maybe she's just too immature and not too bright, and thought she was doing something about her problem. I don't know. But, I wonder if there is a way to find out; some way to reach young people like this, before they settle into a long life of voting against the best interests of their country.

Trust me, the first source that reaches through to her, and directly or indirectly helps her with her "problem," will have the philosophy she emulates the rest of her life. It sure would be nice -- and constructive --if that source could be us, here.
