Why do people always assume that when one writes about an issue, they aren't also doing something about it?

I contributed much time and energy to helping the Kerry campaign, which I believed would help. I voted. But, even if Kerry had won, we'd have the same situation to work on. I regularly write to my representatives, I volunteer my time to several PACs, and so on.

I also write; I hope that by writing about it, even one more person will be motivated to find out what they can do to help their country.

    That's awesome. I am involved with the student government at the college I go to, and I see many people who complain about everything, but never get off of their butt and do something. I have noticed that they talk a lot of trash, but they never write. You have written a perl poem, but I personally see it as a form of getting out and doing something, it raises some form of awareness. We got together as a group with the honor's society and became deputized to register people to vote, and another thing I saw was the people who only complain always have the excuse "I do not have the time to vote," or at least something of that nature.
