Citizen involvement in national politics is pointless…

…when you could be spending your time watching movies, going to the beach, planting a garden, taking a road trip to Yellowstone, making stop-motion videos of clay monsters attacking Barbie Dolls, looking up childhood friends you haven’t seen since grade school, picking loquats, volunteering at an animal shelter, dishing out meals at Glide Memorial, reading a good book, lying back on the grass and seeing animal shapes in the clouds, teaching someone to read, going to community college to brush up on your American Sign Language, taking a walking tour of a cemetery, investigating a reportedly haunted house, four-wheeling ghost towns in the desert, Googling old episodes of “Zoom,” making a homemade smoothie, adopting a stray kitty, going on a picnic, digging your own swimming pool by hand, learning Italian, [fill in the 8,439 things you’d like to be doing right now, here].
