[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 654468, member: 1550"] Jabber, I think you've got it!!!! At one time I was so into current events and the news and the world that I chatted daily on a political channel on MIRC. Now? I don't care because there is nothing I can do to change things. I do vote. That's the extent of what I can do. And I have no idea what is going on in the world. I just know that if I checked it out, I would feel sad and frustrated and I really hate what is going on and the direction of my own country so, since I can't control it, I focus on what is within my control such as myself. LOL. I have one FB friend I used to chat with from my MIRC politics days who keeps trying to get me back to the channel and I keep meaning to go for her...but I can't get myself to do it. I would have idea how to jump into the conversation. And there is a lot of contention on the site...liberals, conservatives, liberations all fighting and sure they are right. That isn't part of my life's plan anymore. Honestly, I don't even know who the presidential contenders will be. I just know that I won't like most of them...lol. I used to get angry (not furious, but frustrated) that my husband did not get involved in politics or even vote, but I am glad he doesn't. It's easier to block out the news when neither of us want to see it. "La, la, la, I'm not listening" lol. The only news I'm eager to hear is who the Packers will draft when the draft comes up and we always listen to the football draft so we don't need the news for that ;) [/QUOTE]
