the personal attacks on each other don't get the problems fixed. we don't have to agree on the issues, we just have to agree that we have the right not to agree, and to speak out about it. if more people would actually engage each other IN PERSON, in PUBLIC VENUES, we would actually see what the majority is really in favor of. in person in public venues is where change happens. but we are scared into staying home and typing it up on a computer. the 'inconvenience' of not getting home in time, or to whereever you may be going might just give some people who don't otherwise try to change things time to think about why they are really being held up. it's always going to be inconvenient for some when trying to invoke change. hell it might even invoke some change and passion in them to try to make a difference. we all need to care more about where this country is going. honestly, i don't want to get gassed and shot at and noised out, but how will any difference be made if we don't get out there and shout from the roof tops what we need as THE PEOPLE. imo, my govt has done a pretty shitty job representing me so far, and i've done nothing to change that. i'm taking responsibility for that NOW.
i just can't wrap my head around people being arrested and physically attacked for walking down public streets with signs, or even no signs, just walking in groups, no matter their numbers. it does not jive.
