When a nation goes down, or a society perishes one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.
~ Carl Sandburg
- - - - -We now plunge into the full campaign season (which started about three years ago). My grandfather never voted. It is said that he chose not to vote so he could complain about whoever was elected and say, "Well, I didn't vote for him" (and I'm sure it was pretty much always a "him" he would have been referencing).
We have a lot of people with access to a lot of information. We also have a lot of it is misinformation. What we don't have is a lot of people thinking.
Just like in research, whenever possible, go to the original source. Don't trust the media to tell you what is happening. Don't trust Facebook. Don't trust your friends' "retweets". Do your fact-checking.
And if you don't like what you discover to be true, go out and change the world yourself.
And if you do like what you discover to be true, go out and change the world for yourself.
Get my point? Go change the world.
Not that I'm the boss of you. Though I do make a pretty good boss. Not in a "bossy" way. In a leadership way.
