Politics and Bone Marrow Donation
Went out to lunch with my aunt and uncle today, and my uncle was listening to conservative talk radio. One of the things that they were going on about was how 2010 is a census year, and how the census is a horrible invasion of our privacy and what the hidden agendas to census data are and so forth.
I also read about PETA being all up in arms about Obama killing a fly. They even sent him a 'humane fly trap' so the flies could be caught and released or some shit.
The things people concern themselves with are amazing to me. What about the situation in Iran? What about the economy? Let's take all this wasted time and energy that people seem to have going on for Things That Don't Matter, and apply it to positive, helpful things.
