I wonder how long we're going to sit around and let this keep happening. It's got to be stopped.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216849284613897226.post-9143102075640904332015-11-13T05:48:12.204-08:002015-11-13T05:48:12.204-08:00Martha, Thank you for being involved.

Apathy is one of those grooves.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187611054293001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216849284613897226.post-66859217373693608652015-11-12T17:14:04.215-08:002015-11-12T17:14:04.215-08:00I do keep up to date with the news and I do care v...I do keep up to date with the news and I do care very much about what's going on. I volunteer my time but I wish I was doing more.

Though I might not be out with a picket sign or rescuing people from burning buildings, I do try to speak out. Say something, Do something is important, but, like you, there are a few wackies I am amused by but those wackos do not include Justin Beiber, Lindsay Lohan or the Kardashians. I just can't do it!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187611054293001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216849284613897226.post-57566354865094828022015-11-11T08:30:08.737-08:002015-11-11T08:30:08.737-08:00Microcosm's are a good example of how life sho...Microcosm's are a good example of how life should be lived.

I used to be obsessed with politics when it still mattered in my country. Everything is rudiculed now more than ever, we start to resemble a third world country! greekwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666291801038882275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216849284613897226.post-1397044423451282372015-11-10T11:35:42.712-08:002015-11-10T11:35:42.712-08:00True confession, I might click on Bradley Cooper l...True confession, I might click on Bradley Cooper links....but eventually would go back to world news!

However, it's important to recognize the limitations of what can be accomplished by individuals. We must "think globally and act locally" like the old slogan says. Change what we can in ourselves, our families, our communities and our countries. But we also need to maintain a balance and enjoy a few of the frothier things in life. So I don't want to hear ONE WORD about my obsession with Tom Hiddleston, LOL!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
