Reply #39: That's what I've been saying for several years now [View All]

I've gotten to the point where I just drop the argument if I get nowhere with someone in a post or two. So many argue to feel superior or clever and it doesn't advance anything; neither understanding nor the cause. Those people I usually just put on ignore and move on. Life is too short and there's too much to be done. My activism is now limited to writing letters and signing petitions (I've lost count of all the groups I "take action" for; TrueMajority, Progressive Majority, Planned Parenthood, The Sierra club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, MoveOn, NARAL, The ACLU, The Audubon society, etc. etc.). It always seems like I can get more done when no organization of others is required, which is disturbing. :-(
