DU loves its heroes

[cali]

until they don't. One vote that isn't liked, one statement or lack of a statement, and presto that's it. DU is on him or her like a hungry lion on a gazelle.

And round and round and round we go.

1. I totally loved you right up until that post.

2. I was noticing

that it had gotten pretty crowded under the bus. Vicky Kennedy had to scoot over to make room for Paul Krugman, and I think I heard Al Franken complain that Bernie Sanders was poking him in the back with his elbow.

3. Soon enough, the lion will lie down with the gazelle... at least

that's what I am hoping for. I'm gonna blame it on the increase ejection of cosmic rays from the sun if it comes true.

4. Human beings have a tendency to be reactionary

DU is not particularly unique in that respect.

5. Kind of like society in general

Tiger Woods is a good example. People worshiped him, now people revile him. We love to build up our heroes before we tear them down.

11. It's best not to have heroes.

They let you down. It's time people start believing in themselves instead of some 'other' to speak or fix shit for them.
