(4,452 posts)2003 and the song and dance that put us there in the first place was what made me militant about politics. I was always apolitical and uninvolved before that. Iraq was the breaking point. I knew then that I could not rely on the better informed and more influential to assure that the best interest of the world and our country was served.
Since that point and aided by the fact that I don't have a life, I have become an information maven. I read everything I can find on every situation that will have an effect on not just my life but the world in general. I have learned in those years that my understanding of the world was accurate but severely naive.
I may have a decade or two on you but one of your presentations back in like 2005 or 6 was truly inspiring and has helped me continue my trek toward being more informed and critical in my thinking.
