Apathy is poison

Apathy is poison. There's no way around it. And while I have done any
studies because I'm too impatient to wait for results, I firmly
believe this statement to be true.

Think about it for a second, how awful is not caring. Whether it's
not caring for a loved one, not caring about politics or the fate of
a nation, not caring about war and famine, or even not caring about
the growing environmental plight of the world, it criplles us. Not caring leaves us
feeling nothing, saying nothing and most importantly, doing nothing.

Apathy among non-students leaves post-secondary tuitions high and
rising. Apathy among the rich leaves the poor toiling. Apathy among
industrial CEO's leaves the environment dying. And apathy among the
public leaves our world in trouble.

It is true that every cause has it's supporters. And whether you
believe in them and support them or think they're off base and oppose
them, until you care enough to speak or act, you've helped neither
side of the cause.

It's fact that under 60% of Canadians voted in the 2008 federal
election, and that the same government that felt it didn't have the
nations support remained in power. Now maybe this shows that the
Conservatives do have Canada's support. Or maybe they don't and the
over 40% of the nation that didn't vote could have changed things.
But until that 40% stands, speaks and acts they aren't 40% of the
decision making public, they are 0%.

I know I'm not breaking ground here like I did with the idea of
Living in the Ish, but I still believe in every word I've written.
If I've offended you, tell me. If you agree with me, tell me. And
if you don't care... I think we all know you won't say anything
anyway.
