The responses on this thread make me ashamed to be a FReeper.
Why? Never mind, I don't give a fat rat's ass why you are ashamed.

I know.
I know the feeling. Hang in there. Try to return knee jerk reaction with fact and reason.
DT has clearly tapped into a stream of deep anger and worry and his magical solutions to all the mess does resonate.
It's worrisome to me that ANY call for a tempering of rhetoric and for more thought out proposals, gets FReepers immediately castigated.
And I know it discourages a LOT of us from engaging.
