apparent apathy
i've never been interested in politics (poligov: following?) but recent events have been so overwhelmingly overbroadcasted on different television stations.
the issue that had been slowly unfolding in front of our eyes are not just attempts to destabilize the arroyo administration anymore.
i used to be okay with gma, but the opposition, led by rep. francis escudero, has been working hard to make us see their point, which is "the truth" (hmm, in my previous entry, i said don't believe the truth but i didn't say, don't listen to what they claim as the truth).
it's so sad that the majority is just disregarding and disrespecting the opposition because they are relatively young.
i liked that rep escudero emphasized that although they are young and the older congressmen don't necessarily respect them, they are still the future of this country and what they are doing is supposed to remedy this mess that gma has created.
it's so depressing because these things are things that we experience in our lives.
look at what apathy and indifference has given us.
sigh.
it's so stupid how they stayed up late to vote for or against the dismissal of the impeachment case verses gma. well, as expected, the yes garnered an overwhelming 159 votes to the 51 no votes.
fine. suck up to gma. fill up your pockets. but at least they have a stand.
unlike the six who abstained.
you wasted your vote.
i used to abstain all the time but now i realize how stupid it is.
you have to take a stand when it matters most.
abstinence is only good when practising safe sex. not when it comes to national issues, moral issues, etc etc. sheesh.
so, what's happened to us?

The Bottom Line
Deep discussions about values cause you to re-think things. Expect indecision.
In Detail
You can't hurry love -- sometimes you just have to wait. Be patient when it comes to your relationships, especially if you and a loved one have dealt with a lot of turbulence in the recent past. What's important is that you don't view this as a make-or-break time. While the energies you're encountering now might be quite dramatic, it doesn't mean that you have to settle things now once and for all. Remain open-minded.
