After reading some blogs, I noticed a trend of technical people blogging about political issues. I am not a very political person and do not believe my own poltical ideals should be available for public consumption. The reason for this is because I have a real problem saying something is right or wrong in the political realm because rarely I know anything close to the full story. I am not saying I don't take a stance, but rather, I don't make a point to proclaim my stance on issues that do not involve me because they do not involve me!
I am not arguing against activism, but rather, unpassionate activism. If you must speak about political issues (again this is fine by me), please take the time to do so in a way that truly supports your argument. If you can't do this, make sure your comment reflects your lack of research, so others do not take your opinions/rants beyond your intended impact.
Again, I want to be clear, I am not against activism. In fact, I am for it. If you believe in something and want to fight for it, then really fight for it and do not get in the way by providing more noise with rants that have no real content.
