I appreciate your condolences.
I think we've discussed the philosophy of voting before, I'm more of an anarchist and believe in voluntarism.
Some people care, but most don't seem to care enough to speak out regularly, we used to have an anti war movement but ever since the military dropped it's draft it seems like that has significantly reduced to the point I can't even remember the significant anti war parade or demonstration.
The war machine is one of the reasons the economy is so disproportionate and messed up. So, that's another reason why people should pay more attention. But, I get it... A lot of people are worked like slaves and don't have the time/interest to do much else besides work and watch/do their entertainments and such.
