(con't) I think my critical realizations from all that were, first, THAT'S MOSTLY ALL I CAN DO, i.e. my influence extends to my home, my friends, and what I can touch; and second, the personal is political. In carefully choosing my path, I can effect larger change by adding the right drops to the right buckets every single day, and importantly, I think that this is now more useful than signing petitions and yelling online and voting and campaigning. I don't think they're mutually exclusive, mind you, nor that people should stop doing those things or that they're wasting their time -- just that our current political/governmental system is so broken that for me it's really more useful to the entire planet to be mindful of how I live my own life
