coebabelghoti's Journal: Older and Wiser

Well, it's been 4 months since my last post. I'm a little older, a little wiser, and still pissed off, but for different reasons.

My girlfriend told me that bitching about the government is useless if you're not going to do anything about it. But after browsing the comments on this site for the last few months, I figure, what the hell is /. for if not bitching?

My girlfriend also told me that I shouldn't bash the whole country for the mistakes of the government, which I suppose is true. I realize that there are a lot of good points. It just makes me angry when government officials make so many blatantly self-serving laws. I know in my heart that these mistakes will be rectified, but it pains me that it will probably take years to do so.

Thank you AC for your vote of confidence, but I'm just a lowly computer engineering major. Being 20, I doubt I'd be taken seriously enough to be elected to those few public positions I'm eligible to hold. Besides, I'm generally to straight with people. I don't believe in sugar-coating or obscuring the truth and for that I'd be booted in no time flat. Thanks anyway.

There are times when I know exactly what you mean on the girlfriends thing. And you make a good point. It would be pretty easy for me to get involved at some level. You seem way too smart to be posting as AC.
