Just once I'd like to have a conversation with someone who actually knew something about Affirmative Action.
And I just wrote had this crazy long essay of an entry all about it.
But then I realized two things:
1. That most people wouldn't agree with me on this.
2. Most people wouldn't even think about what they were reading and would just see fit to lambaste me about my position instantly.
So fuck it.
I have reached the point where I just don't care anymore. I don't care about talking about politics.
It just doesn't get me anywhere. It only gets me upset because it seems no one even knows what they are talking about.
And they don't even want to listen to the other side. I think I spend a lot of time listening to the other side. And I resent that no one will take the time to listen to me. And I mean really listen-- like not just the "be-able -to-repeat-what-I-said" kind of listen, but like the "go-to-bed-thinking-about-it" kind of listen. Am I the only one that ever evaluates what they believe in? Does no one else ever doubt their positions?
From now on, I fight with no one. I'll continue my own crepuscular pondering. But I'll keep my conclusions to myself. I will vote according to my beliefs. And I will say nothing else.
