Reply #18: Once I worked for DOD for a year [View All]

Quit and have not had a decent job since. Did not want to devote my life's work to the MIC. Plus, admittedly it was quite boring, and as my first full time job, it felt like I did not have a life.

I give some of my time and money, as many do, to support what I consider to be worthy causes. I have volunteered something like 2000 hours at a youth center, and something like 100 hours standing in the cold to raise money for the Salvation Army. I have rented a car twice to go protest Bush visits, and once to protest the coming war with Iraq. Not a huge sacrifice, but spending a couple hours walking on a cold day seemed to be more than most of my fellow Kansans were willing to do.

And so on. Or were you looking for more theoretical and large sacrifices. Could I do more? Should I? Okay, yes, I need to renew my subscription to The Nation.
