Politically Left-out

I can still remember my highschool days that my Social Studies research paper was about the Marcos Regime, on cronyism, nepotism, and the likes. The Caterpillar was one of my colleagues that time.

I can still remember my early college days when I am with STAND-IIT. I was also affiliated with youth mass organizations. During those days I served the students in particular and served the people in general. I was featured in television and in radio for the oil strikes, peso devaluations, student concerns, etc. I had marched the streets with a megaphone to speak out the concerns of the studentry and/or the general people. I joined conferences, debates, and forums in order to be updated with news about the economy and politics as well. I wrote articles in order to let others know the latest, and what needs to be done in order to suppress some problems that haunts the masses.

Right now, all I could say is that I am politically left-out. Conversing with my office mates on their views on the current issues really makes a slap on my face. I should have updated myself with these issues. I even envy those bloggers who puts into their blogs their views on the current political crises the country has. I feel like I don't have concerns in the country with my current condition. Honestly speaking, I really have doubts with the status quo. I am concerned with the people being oppressed and exploited. What I lack are the issues.

Is this really the result when you don't have a television at your room? Is this really the result when you don't buy newspapers or even read at newspaper stands? Is this really the result when you are too lazy browsing the likes of Inquirer.net?
