Certainly not the first time I've heard that. Frankly, I don't understand the point. That you've given up on the political process? Fine. Your choice. You have one thing less to do Nov. 4th than I do.
INDIVDUALS AND THEIR ACTIONS ALONE ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT.
Um - like voting? Individual effort is all anyone can give, but to pretend government policy doesn't affect the minimization or maximizing of the results of that effort is false.
I don't mean the following to sound as snarky as I'm sure it will, but I'm on lunch break and short of time - I understand where you're at. It's not somewhere I want to be. I understand you view yourself as a realist and me as an idealist. I would see you as a defeatist and me as a cautious realist who's just not ready to throw up my hands in despair. Kay-sa-ra-sa-ra...or however the hell you spell that.
