when you gonna wake up?

ok.

i get that some just do not "like" politics, sort of. but lately i don't have much patience when i hear comments like: "the news is too depressing; i don't watch it much anymore" depressing indeed. there's a reason for that, people! there are things going on that go far beyond depressing. why is it wrong to want to have your eyes OPEN to the injustice and deception all around us? hey, i like distraction and fun as much as the next person, but these are times that require attention, not apathy. it's fine to have a cornucopia of interests, but one of them can be political awareness, can't it? please. there is strength in numbers. stand and be counted. be brave and speak your mind...THAT is freedom. it's not a yellow ribbon magnet, or a free flag decal from mc donalds. read the downing street memo, if you haven't already. (just click on the title of this post) boring? dear goddess, please try broadening your horizons. just a little.
