city life from the point of view of a small town boy... http://joshuac./ en-us Webligo BlogHoster Apathy is poison.&nbsp; There's no way around it.&nbsp; And while I have done any <br /> studies because I'm too impatient to wait for results, I firmly <br /> believe this statement to be true. <br /> <br /> Think about it for a second, how awful is not caring.&nbsp; Whether it's <br /> not caring for a loved one, not caring about politics or the fate of <br /> a nation, not caring about war and famine, or even not caring about <br /> the growing environmental plight of the world, it criplles us.&nbsp; Not caring leaves us <br /> feeling nothing, saying nothing and most importantly, doing nothing. <br /> <br /> Apathy among non-students leaves post-secondary tuitions high and <br /> rising.&nbsp; Apathy among the rich leaves the poor toiling.&nbsp; Apathy among <br /> industrial CEO's leaves the environment dying.&nbsp; And apathy among the <br /> public leaves our world in trouble. <br /> <br /> It is true that every cause has it's supporters.&nbsp; And whether you <br /> believe in them and support them or think they're off base and oppose <br /> them, until you care enough to speak or act, you've helped neither <br /> side of the cause.<br /> <br /> It's fact that under 60% of Canadians voted in the 2008 federal <br /> election, and that the same government that felt it didn't have the <br /> nations support remained in power.&nbsp; Now maybe this shows that the <br /> Conservatives do have Canada's support.&nbsp; Or maybe they don't and the <br /> over 40% of the nation that didn't vote could have changed things.&nbsp; <br /> But until that 40% stands, speaks and acts they aren't 40% of the <br /> decision making public, they are 0%.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> I know I'm not breaking ground here like I did with the idea of <br /> Living in the Ish, but I still believe in every word I've written.&nbsp; <br /> If I've offended you, tell me.&nbsp; If you agree with me, tell me.&nbsp; And <br /> if you don't care... I think we all know you won't say anything <br /> anyway. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://mail01.mail.com/scripts/mail/compose.mail?compose=1&amp;.ob=4c765e721a2c4053a349f2ec81b4abad5af3ed19&amp;composeto=Phmurph%40hotmail.com">Phmurph@hotmail.com</a><br /> <br /> Cheers, <br /> <br /> -Joshua <p class="MsoNormal">Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL <a href="http://mail.enterto.com/signup.html">spam free email</a><br /> <br />Click Below to discover and share content from anywhere on the web<br /> <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> http://joshuac.3steps.com/22635/
