Engage. Inform. Discuss.
social activism of the informative kind.
SOCIAL ANGST is more than just a blog, it is an invitation to aid in the building of wealth through the shared task of information distribution and discussion. It is a call to engage – engage in society, engage with your peers, engage in your political system, engage in spreading the wealth that is information, and engage in multiplying that wealth through discussion – so that collectively we may become more socially aware, more socially responsible, more socially vocal and ultimately more socially valuable.
In her signature relaxed and candid style, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke with NBC's Matt Lauer for a Today Show interview today. Her down to earth nature is as charming as ever as she discloses her consistent awe at the media frenzy surrounding her and her family, stating simply, "I don't think I'm that interesting. I don't think my husband is that interesting." When asked about her husband's recently declining poll numbers, she chooses an objective response instead of a personal one. "It's part of the job" she says, "This has been a tough year for the nation. Folks out of work; two wars. We have an economy that we've pulled from the brink of depression. Folk, you know, they're looking for work. They're losing their homes. So Americans are rightfully frustrated and the person in charge is the person folks look to."
