These are almost my sentiments exactly and yet I still vote in every presidential election. I don't think we can afford another decade under these same electoral, educational and judicial systems. Lord knows we're well overdue for a media revolution.
But change doesn't come overnight and while I may be naive by thinking we can actually make this a better country, one president at a time, armchair apathy gets us nowhere.
