Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

What a Fool Believes

Change your beliefs, change your life.
By 



Ha.
I’m a fool.
A fool who believes.
A fool to write every single day.
But I’ll always believe.
I believe in you.
I believe in the power of community.
I believe in one good song.
Written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. 
Recorded by The Doobie Brothers. 
The song received Grammy Awards in 1980 for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
“What a Fool Believes” was one of the few non-disco No. 1 hits that summer.
From Wiki: “The song lyrics tell a story of a man who is reunited with an old love interest and attempts to rekindle a romantic relationship with her before discovering that one never really existed.”
The Doobies believed.
I believe too.
I believe these notes are good for us, you and me.
I believe in love.
I believe that love works.
It just works.
Believe me.
Be a fool in love.
A fool who believes.
Microstep: Be zany today. Play a silly game. Be a fool in love. A fool who believes in the power of connection and community.
