consu-me

My sister pointed it out so clearly to me why I would never be running for office. You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped. And it sure seems to me like more and more Americans are more worried about what brand of sunglasses they are wearing than the issues that I would attempt to tackle if I ran for office. I mean it’s hard enough to talk politics with someone on the other end of your political spectrum, but at least they believe in a cause. It is truly frustrating, however, to try and talk about social issues with someone who doesn’t care. I just don’t understand how you could not have an opinion about issues that directly affect you. That you don’t want to learn about them. That you just want to change the subject and talk about how disapointed you were with the new lines at the gap!
I have a lot to figure out, and I will take all the help I can get. This blog is an opportunity for me to share some insight, and give others a chance to do the same.
