Me and my big mouth

Why oh why do I read other people's blogs and feel the need to get online and post something completely to the contrary? It's not people that I don't know, don't talk to that I feel the need to 'enlighten'... it's people I know and often like. I read something where someone has watched some documentary or done some research and now they feel something is SO wrong. 'I'm boycotting this company or think that this drug is SO bad or this way of doing something is SO harmful.' And they try to come across as sounding 'non-judgmental': "I mean, if you don't have a personal problem with it, then I can't stop you or convince you it's wrong. But you know, with all the stuff I've read and seen, this is just the conclusion I've come to."
...
And you just know what they're really thinking is: "Maybe if you cared about *insert favorite cause here* then you would take the time to read news articles and watch documentaries."
...
that are written by people. that are just about always biased no matter how neutral they try to be. And often just obviously aren't.

And the first thought into my head (after thinking about how I totally disagree) is: "hey, I should write on MY blog just to show the error of their ways"
...
haha, me and my big mouth.
...
or maybe it's: me and my big ego?

Who do I think I am anyway? ;)
