Reply #32: I've not been able to separate living from politics myself.... [View All]

I've always wondered about those who've said "oh, I'm not a political person" or my favorite "I don't' do politics".

I've come to lose respect from public figures or celebrities who don't wish to stand up and use their "power" to foster awareness. It's as if they have nothing to say about anything important.

Life is politics. If people find it to tiresome and boring to be informed and passionate about how their leaders (self-appointed or elected) will effect theirs and their children's lives, they deserve to be taken advantage of. The avoidance of "politics" seems to be just lazy and escapist. I wish I could be so unaware. I want to spend fanciful afternoons on the lawn sippin' tea and only giving serious thought on were perhaps would be the best location for my gladiolas next year. . . ho hum.


Oh well... this is all pre-coffee and I apologize if it seems as shaky as caffeine withdrawal makes me feel LOL.
