Here. We. Go.

I haven't pulled my eyes out of this US Army Survival Manual all day, and there's the US Military Counterinsurgency Manual still to go. Hundreds of PDF files on how to be a ghost and how to make a difference. I can't even read fiction anymore. Comics, oh my god, comics. I don't even feel like it anymore.
It's like school began again. For the first time in, what, almost four years my education has began again. A People's History of the United States, Ghost Wars, A Question of Torture.....

Weeks Later.

So what is there to do now?
It's a bad, bad place we live in.
And the problems are so big.
Too big to feel like they relate directly to me.
I don't feel like any of the things I read about are in direct action against me.
So I really don't care.
But there are tons of problems that are indirectly touching.
No man is an island, I guess.
So what is there to do now?
I mean, it's obvious what to do now, but how do you go about changing these things?
