On the other, I find myself asking why should any of us bother. I've previously read enough to know things are deeply screwed up and getting worse. Now I only skim the headlines because it is depressing and frankly there is effectively nothing any of us can do about it. Sure, we can vote, but that's a very small thing to be able to do in the face of a truly vast problem (even assuming that voting means anything at all given the potential problems with the voting machines). These days I mostly look at the news as a way to know when it has become absolutely necessary to flee this nation.
I'm actually quite interested to hear your thoughts on this.
