.on the other hand, this shunning of politics by the very people who are "more educated" and "would" support "more educated" people in politics is the problem. there is a certain hypocrisy here, but perhaps that's too big a word. but i just feel like if you do not contribute to the political discourse, and want to stay as far away from it as possible, then why criticize what's happening politically? and oh yeah, one is criticizing when one says >>But this is not the proper way<< do it and show it. at least show what you prefer and shed this skin of pseudo-neutrality and pseudo-stoicity. i exhort you. it is easy to complain, but to set an example...well, i'd like to see that, instead of just impotent "holier than thou" statements. it's easy to see oneself as a victim no matter what happens, perhaps the laudable act is to accept your vulnerabilities but express your resilience and creativity! and i respect your sentiments. that's why i feel that it deserves a criticism from my perspective.
