Regarding the latter, it's possible that most people know better than to reveal their views about hot-button issues on a social network. It's possible that I am just oblivious. Given that I come from a long line of boisterous rabble-rousers who have figuratively given the finger to convention for generations, I'd say it's not my fault...it's genetic.
But if the former is true, I have a few things to say. Read a book. Pick up the paper...or download an app for it to your smartphone. Figure out what you believe in and when you do, at the very least, vote. I fear for our nation if the majority of the people don't care.
And so I've decided to start a blog. Another blog. For anybody who cares.
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think we disagree on most political isssues (I gather that from those facebook posts) but I had NO problem with your posts. I would always rather someone was passionate about something even if I don't agree with them than so many of the people that I talk to that don't care or let others make up their mind for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl! I feel the same way! I even enjoy a scrappy little debate every once-in-a-while. Good-natured, of course.
ReplyDeleteI'm still evolving, here, and I've definitely changed my views on a few things when people have given me a solid argument to the contrary.
It'll be interesting to see what my views are a few years from now.
Wow. I went checking to see if PollyPI had posted again. (Your blog was the one a friend pointed me to as a motivator to write something other than emails.)
ReplyDeleteI know these are older posts, but from the few I peeked at, we share the same disgust with the media and a misinformed voting populace...
