Good.
We do care about the world around us, don't we?
Yes, and the way to show it is to do what you're doing: Go out and do
something that makes a difference.
I would submit that there an inverse relation between the amount of OT
posting and the amount of good a person is doing.
Given the quantity and quality of most of the OT posts (yes, including
my own), and the unvarying, unending topics of "fags", "liberalism is a
mental disorder", "repuke - i- cans", "rag-heads", "straw men", "am-not
-- are too!", "no, YOU'RE a poopy head", "global warming", "no such
thing", "bush sux", "bush is god", trolls, people who just can NOT
ignore the trolls, etc, etc, etc, etc, it's probably good that OT dies
down once in a while to give everyone a break.
Is OT valid? Sure. Does it have the potential for doing good? You
bet. Sometimes even does. Does it meet that potential often? Scarcely
ever, imo. Do I want it to go away? No. Do I mind when it slows down
once in a while? Hell, no! My 2 cents. Agree, disagree, or flame (and
be ignored) as you like.
