“American Apathy”

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

     We tell our children to ask questions; “You’ll never learn the answer if you don’t ask the question.”  All change begins with a question.  As a society we have been overcome by Apathy.  Not only are we not questioning the way things are, we are making a deliberate effort to remain ignorant, because apathy is expected of the ignorant.  How can you care about something you have no knowledge of?  However, we have no excuse today with a world of information literally at our fingertips. 

   When I think of my children and their future, this is what worries me most.  If people are not upset by injustice; are not outraged by war; are not saddened by poverty; are not worried about environmental degradation, what hope do we have?  Please read our page on “American Apathy”
