The Heart and the Hand

[neitherday.livejournal.com]

Unlike a government, I believe an online forum is best run with a heavy handed rule, as there will always be those who will test and push blurry lines into uselessness and a place such as this LiveJournal community is too small a thing to put such a large effort into keeping that balance. I have seen many people burn out in running online groups for that very reason.

Regardless of that, I am pleased by the reaction to and distrust of any authority that I saw here, even the rejection of mine. While I may not agree with the outcomes, I am happy the events transpired in the way they did in December. The rejection and questioning that was shown is the heart of the idea of the United States, and it gives me some hope for the future to see it so strong in Davis Square.
