I am getting so sick of my apolitical friends who bitch about gas prices and food prices and healthcare costs and the interest rates on their credit cards and AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

This is a really, really awesome post. :) <BR/><BR/>It is hard, sometimes, to "keep going," especially when you feel like the only person within a ten mile radius who is concerned about certain issues. But it's reading posts like this, knowing that other people are still pressing on, that keeps me going.

Laziness is easy....And awesome.<BR/><BR/>Cynicism is so easy. Laziness is easy. <BR/><BR/>While I was volunteering this weekend, I watched person after person come in to give their time, only to blanch at what they were asked to do. <BR/><BR/>No, knocking on stranger's doors isn't fun. Nor is calling them and getting hung up on repeatedly. Hell, even sitting in front of a computer entering information over and over again is dull.<BR/><BR/>But I figure that part of what I give when I give my time and effort is the knowledge that I am doing something uncomfortable and not-fun and not-easy. <BR/><BR/>Democracy ain't easy. <BR/><BR/>But it's the most important thing we can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
