Not everyone gets to uphold the laws of this country in their everyday life.

However, that leap from having empathy and actually feeling the need to do something about it is where I fall short.<BR/><BR/>I think it is a combination of a lot of factors which puts me in my spot - laziness, knowing that often change is virtually impossible, ego, etc. But I know it is not that I don't care. I do care. I do feel others pain, but I guess I don't feel that it is my job to get out there and "make a difference".<BR/><BR/>Great post, by the way. (I probably should have started with that).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978375225313974459noreply@blogger.com
