I am already comfortable with those words, just not in the context they may be used in after next Tuesday :eek:

I've done my part to protect our American values and Democracy, I voted today

It is pretty worrisome thing when the word 'community' is somehow a bad thing. Is having a sense of community somehow a uniquely Democrat thing or conversely a Republican thing?

In a similar vein, cooperative is hardly a scary word. Cooperation - god forbid that that be a force in society.

Context, it's all in the context. On Tue. our potential new socialist vision changes the perspective. It's only worrisome when Community is suddenly followed by 'work farm'.

Sounds to me like expectations are running high for an inevitability that may never materialize.

Having said that perhaps a lot of people should make a effort to practice the meaning of these words and a few other well chosen descriptive terms in their daily lives. Maybe just maybe it might not be such a selfish me first world.
