22. Act locally - and I know how you feel

I get burned out every now and then from the DU echo chamber of negativity sometimes, too. If you'd like to be involved, but just feel like you can't take anymore of the bullshit from Washington, might I suggest working more locally? Someone else suggested congressional campaigns, but those guys (and even Obama) don't need your help nearly as much as the other politicians who make just as much a difference in our lives: county commissioners, state assemblywomen, school board members. Think globally and act locally, etc.

I also recommend going camping and getting really drunk, though not necessarily at the same time.
