[quote=Anonymous]My spouse also gets angry with me when I don’t match her intensity for various events, my mission is providing for my family during a time where my expenses are exploding, I’m doing my best to keep our heads above water and I don’t have the time, money, skill or access to somehow influence legislation. Not sure why having a Y chromosome made be the local representative and spokesman for Hamas or some religious zealot who helped ban abortion in their town

I get inundated with horrible news all day long, sure it’s important to know things but the I can’t do anything about any of it; oh my God can you believe what’s happening in the Middle East, I can’t imagine the suffering… OK, the only thing I can do is send some money to feed the children. A woman died during miscarriage in Texas because no one would do a D&C, that is state sanctioned murder of a woman! OK, all I can do is send some money to Planned Parenthood. Did you see how the FDA barely inspects imported food for dangerous chemicals, we are ingesting poison! OK, all I can do is shop at Whole Foods and pray their distributors are honest with them.

Besides sending some money to people who may or may not use it the way they say they will or voting for people that may or may not do what they say they’re going to do I feel like there is a very little we can do as regular middle-class non-influential citizens. 
I am happy to join in a fair fight but see absolutely no reason to put my family in jeopardy to tilt against a fortune 50 company or foreign or domestic government.

Use the energy you have generated in being angry with him and put it to something positive, if you can think of a better way than donating money or voting please let us all know and we’ll join you.
