That's not what I said, but thanks for going on a tangent to correct me.
Yeah, it's sickening that one of the proudest democracies in history is clearly faltering.
However, I thought they taught Americans about the responsibility of democracy. Hell knows we here you bang on about it when invading the rest of the world.
As a non-American it staggers me to think that people tried to justify not making a difficult choice by suggesting they were taking some sort of moral inaction.
Ok, not preaching here... Just sharing something that helped me.
I was "terminally online".
It got me down.
What I found out was that staying well informed doesn't mean keeping up to date with what is happening at this very moment. It means learning all the wonderful things from history.
Well informed means learning, right?
There are so many brilliant things you can learn right now. And they'll all make you a better, more useful, citizen.
Learn how to paint. Learn photography. Learn why the Japanese like squid. Learn cockney rhyming slang. Learn about Egypt's history with gold. Learn it all. That's also staying well informed.
Classic American, lecturing the world on the ethics of things. .
