I have joined because i have been researching what is going on around the world and i have been trying to raise awareness about many issues via social media , i am so frustrated with the lack of interest in current affairs,recent history and what i believe presents the biggest danger to humanity, apathy and brain-washing by the media. you are probably laughing at me because i tried to use social media and you are right but i have seen many inspirational methods for raising awareness of social issues and fund-raising for amazing causes, that i thought if i sifted through all the disinformation and did my research and posted what i believe to be balanced and truthful, i would reach people. surprise ! it hasn't worked. i am Irish , i am fifty years old and have witnessed the destruction and horror of civil war but also what can be achieved through dialog, we are not out of the woods yet but what has been achieved here in Ireland is nothing short of a miracle, if you have read this far, thank you,kind regards deacy
