[Vision2020] Proud I am to know you

[joekc at adelphia.net]

I've been keeping track of scores. Here are Donovan's:

Economic Left/Right: -1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77

I only want to add that, having several family members who are either elderly or disabled, we cannot afford to discourage folks like Donovan who serve in this way.

Keely, Andreas and others here,

You do your selves proud in your response to Wayne's attempt to lynch 
Donovan.  Wayne actually does send letters to Public Officials and agencies 
doing the kinds of things he is suggesting be done to Donovan.  I think its 
wrong that people did that sort of thing to BJ Swanson and its just as wrong 
to attempt to ruin any other person simply because you disagree with their 
politics, their race or their religion.

If anybody had looked, Donovan is a left center moderate on that Political 
Compass, in the upper right corner of left libertarian which puts him as a 
Moderate Democrat.  Its not like he is Joe Stalin or Adolf Hitler, yet that 
is the kind of response he gets.  We all get pug ugly here from time to time 
and tear strips off each others hides and he does so no more or less than 
any other person posting here.  I went out for a beer with him and found him 
to be a nice guy who was willing to agree to disagree and look for common 
ground to build community on.

If libertarian ideals mean anything its in willingness to accept the 
differences in people even as we disagree with them and find a way to work 
for a future as a community.  You guys are displaying that in spades and it 
can only spell one of the better chances to see a bright tommorrow here in 
Moscow.
