DU isn't dead. Just no new users. You can lurk.
They won't let non-registered users read right now. They're having a breakdown.
Maybe they are closing down and packing up for the big move to Canada that so many of them vowed to make if President Bush wins.
They yearn for a country where they will be free from all the restrictions they find here in the USA....free from the draft, free to have abortions, free to voice their opinions, a place where minorities have a voice, where gas is cheap and food is plentiful....a place where they can work for the collective good of mankind free from persecution and dirty politics.
Blah-blah.
