Where is The Boundary?
Politics is such a weird thing for me.
On one hand, I feel pretty passionate about politics, and freedom-- I'm never at a loss for opinion.
On the other hand, I feel a tension. Politics will never bring peace to the world. In fact, it's a great way to guarantee conflict. Since when do people agree on politics?
I get emails across my desk all the time to take action on Bill C-250, or Marriage Ammendments, or rights of students in schools-- lots of stuff. And they all call me to action; pick up the phone; if you don't who will; stuff like that.
And I feel guilty about not doing it. I rationalize that this isn't the real issue, that you can't legislate morality, that taking a hard opinion on things just makes me look narrow-minded.
I don't really like that response, but for now it's slightly more comfortable than my lack of response.
