I disagree very strongly that my position is apathetic. I'm conscious and alert to what's going on around me and my opinions are well-formed. Choosing not to be outraged isn't the same as apathy.

- benjamincburns 13y agoYeah, I probably was unwise to state that so conclusively. How about this? "I try to have well-formed opinions and to be conscious and alert to what's going on around me."
- wavesounds 13y agoI should have phrased that better, I think if you reexamine some history you will be more outraged
- benjamincburns 13y agoLike I said in my comment above, from my always-shrinking knowledge of history, battling institutionalized paranoia with individualized paranoia and outrage just escalates the problem. I'm not saying there's no problem here to fix; I believe quite the opposite. It's just that promoting anger and fear will get us nowhere.
