It feels like the prevailing mood here is disappointment. We always seem to be disappointed in something. Sometimes it’s our Party, other times the MSM. Usually both.

Often the disappointment is directed at our own community. I can’t exclude myself from this category. Some people might have noticed my own, often expressed disappointment at the behavior some DUers whenever homosexuality becomes the topic du-jour.

Others here have been disappointed by the ‘lies’ and ‘spin’ by supporters of one (D) candidate or another.

We could probably sit here till the sun comes up listing all the myriad disappointments, but that doesn’t sound like much fun. It’s also really negative and I wonder if it’s not the reason we regularly lose popular members of the community.

Doesn’t anyone else get tired of it? What can we do to change it. Should we even try?

I know things are pretty ugly right now. Not to mention downright scary in some instances. But does having a culture of disappointment (if we do have that) help?

I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to stop being disappointed, but I wonder if there is a way to address our unhappiness in more positive ways.
