With Election Day right around the corner and an election year right around the corner from that, things are getting pretty politically charged.
I was reading the blog of an activist I follow when I read the following quote, which I think is profound:
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
~Desmond Tutu
I have always thought this to be the case, although I doubt I've ever expressed it as articulately.
I hope you will take a moment to reflect upon Tutu's words as we approach election day and vote with your conscious rather than taking an apathetic or (cliche) they-are-all-crooks-anyway approach to the political movement(s) in your area.
Voting is both your right and your duty.
