Apathy is bad

At the end of Sicko, the words "Do Something" appeared on the screen. Many have accused our generation of apathy. It isn't exactly a fair accusation, however, because more than ever before, we're overworked and strapped with debt. But that doesn't give us a right to throw up our hands and say "oh well."

Margaret Mead once said,

Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

My mother says "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." Back in March, Kaiser was going to charge me $140 for 3 months of birth control medication, but I complained to the doctor - rather, I demanded a different prescription, and he knocked $110 off the price. Lily Tomlin once said,

I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.

Things don't change overnight, nor do they happen by themselves. When you see sexism somewhere, say something, do something.
