One of the best things I like about DU.

Is how few, truly stupid, comments I am forced to read. I'm smarter, everyday, for reading the news posts and getting thoughtful feedback from a diverse community.

Happy New Year DU and lets have fun as we watch a bunch of bomb throwers try to figure out out how to do their jobs .

Given recent events, I hope we see zero "bomb throwers" in 2025!

And they do far more damage than the real crazy people that actually throw bombs.
