Politics...I'm not really qualified

I, like so many others, never really knew too much about politics and I'm not sure I really ever cared to. I knew what I believed and what I thought was right and wrong and that was all that I needed. I finally started to look into learning about politics because my best friend is very much into politics and a huge Obama supporter and I would lose every politic related argument we had basically because I didn't know what I was talking about. I found the internet very helpful in helping me become a little factual about politics and what is going on in the world without letting too many people know that I really had no idea. Of course I really only know little bits of information because politics still really isn't my thing, however not looking completely unknowledgeable  is. 

However, when I first started reading this article, I have to say I felt a little intimidated. But I was impressed with Zeke Spier and the way he used to internet to find his information. He said that "about 95% of the research I did was on the internet " and it is amazing that the internet had so much information back then, that it was basically the only place he needed to go. I can't only imagine how much information is there now. He was so passionate about what he believed in. He definitely inspired me to use the internet to care more and become more knowledgeable about politics and the world because in actuality, I really should be. I don't have to agree with everything or support it, but I should know. Today, the internet is right at our finger tips, there is no reason we should not use it for all it is.
