So say we all.

There's a quote attributed to Churchill that boils down to 'as you get older you get more conservative'. People also say you get more intolerant as you get older

Well, posting this kind of a goal in and of itself. I've also been doing what I can for a long time, speaking out, donating, buying food for homeless people, whatever. But I also intent to speak out more, since speech is free. Looking for injustice (for lack of a better word) around me is free. So I'm also going to do more of that. But I also want to show people that I'm trying to be on their side, that not only am I walking the walk I'm talking the talk. In the Facebook version of this post, I reeled in one of my crazy libertarian nutbag friends, and so I'm trying to talk some sense to him. And not everybody who's marginalized who sees me speaking up for them, not everybody who's a crazy libertarian nutbag, not everybody who's on the fence or in a good position to act like me, they all see me doing it. Even if they don't comment, or press the like button, they see it, and they'll hopefully think about it, and either feel heartened, or contemplative, or choose to act themselves.

That rambly mess you just read is what I mean by the post being a goal in and of itself. It's one thing to try and do good. It's another thing to get others to do good, and that's what I'm hoping for.

...that goodness will flow outward.

That's the plan. :)
