While visiting with relatives (aunts, uncles, and cousins) I was asked my position on the Israel conflict.<BR/><BR/>In the middle of talking, one of my cousins interrupted me and complained about how it didn't matter, asking why we needed to bother talking about it, etc. Her lack of caring and interest shows her blatant apathy and disregard for anybody but herself.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that it's that bad with most other people, but I do feel that there are far too many people in our society that just don't care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-1099697538537356202004-11-05T17:32:00.000-06:002004-11-05T17:32:00.000-06:00Yes, we have an apathy problem. In fact, I believe...Yes, we have an apathy problem. In fact, I believe the principles of the Constitution Party coincide more with the morals and philosophies LDS should have, and many do have, but the extent of their attention to politics is the 20 seconds it takes to punch a straight party ticket. Then it's back to garbage on TV such as Buffy the Vampire. Television for the most part is Vain Imaginations.ChssAddcthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031541359498734022noreply@blogger.com
