agony

I have a small problem. Or maybe it's only a small problem in the context of modern America; maybe it's a large problem in modern America. Maybe it's not that unusual, but if you pay attention, it certainly seems to be.

The problem is this: I have opinions. Actual, honest to god, occasionally informed, opinions. I am not shy about sharing them, and I do believe that silence equals consent in many cases.

However much a problem that may be for people living in our wacky ol' modern times, I have a larger problem. This would be apathy. This is my screed against apathy, my writing on the wall, my anger, my rage, and my wish to wake you from your Matrix state.
