I had forgotten, a long time ago, how writing can help calm your soul. There is a need to connect, be heard, be empathised with, be understood. It helps, to get it out. Since I started blogging I was reminded of this. How wonderful this organization is that they bring people together to change the world and to make an impact and to help us reconnect. Often technology does just the opposite. It is so nice to just be able to get things off my chest, and have feedback from people. It is hard sometimes to go to your friends, because they are always biased in their answers for you. I was always skeptial of blogging but now I understand and appreciate its artistic value. Kudos to progressive U.

Progressive U has had the opposite effect for me.
It's increasingly making me bitter about the number of people who refuse to educate themselves and instead rant and rave at the expense of others. I didn't even know much about the difference between a Republican and a Democrat before I came to this site, and now I know more than I ever wanted to, including the number of single-minded liberals who want to "change the world" without thinking about ripple effect it would have on the rest of society. For example, "That's a great idea... but where will the money come from for that program to help so many people?"
It seems to me there are a lot of selfish people out there, and not just here... but ProU has made me more aware of it. That's just my take on things.
