Are We Radicals?

[northoftheborder]

51. That is the way I live my life, with secret "radicalism". People do not want to....

... have their cherished "beliefs" challenged, no matter how wrong they are. If I shared my political beliefs with everyone I knew, I would have few friends. That's why these Dem. liberal blogs like DU are so important to many people. Some of my best friends are in the local Democratic clubs. Other friends I have to find other realms of life to share. I'm just not an evangelist, for anything. It's all I can do to inform myself, and I do share information with those who might show an interest in knowing something I happen to know a little about.

My "radical" ideas used to be mainstream. It is a sad state of affairs that our country is in right now..... I don't know what it will take for people to wake up..... All of us need to stay informed so that when that day comes that people do wake up and start looking for information, we can point them to it. I applaud those who do stand up in public on soapboxes and shout, they are necessary, but I personally do not have the constitution to do that.
