What am I doing?

I was on the phone earlier today with one of the local elected officials and I was asked What I am doing. I was sort of taken back by this as it is obvious to me what I am doing. Also, I attended a meeting the other night in celebration of 'sunshine week,' and I asked what comprises 'the press/media.' I guess to answer both questions I would like to just say that I am doing what I wish EVERYONE would do. I am asking questions, I am sick and tired of doing NOTHING. I am on a quest for nothing more than the truth. Do I think that I will become some authority on truth? No... All I want is to look my kids in the face after our country has been destroyed by the corrupt politicians and the bankers and tell them that I tried, that I did the best that I could with all I had. I am not a trained journalist. I think that I can spell. I think that I can sort of form sentences. I do not believe that I am the only person out there that wants to do this. With all of the technological advances that we currently have, it is practically free to do this. Now, speaking to what is the press. I am not a reporter. But I know how to ask questions. I think that I would like to have answers to the obvious questions that no one is willing to ask. Since when did we become a people that is afraid to ask for and expect the truth? I think that the fake, phony society that we have become is disgusting. It has spread like a cancer throughout all of our daily lives and we have become lovers of deceit. Now for some honesty on my part... I am not an angel. I am not perfect. I have told lies, just like everyone else has. Maybe this blog is a subconscious attempt of my own to repent and be a better man. Who knows. It is something though. It is better than sitting on my duff and whining and shaking my head in useless disgust. So what AM I doing?
