I really believe our individual choices do matter.  Sometimes it is hard to imagine that our choices can really affect more people than just ourselves.  For example in this election, there were many times when I thought it really didn't matter who I voted for or even if I voted at all.  But what it really comes down to is, if everyone thought that then no one would vote.  So in situations like that, you can't be apathetic because if you just wait for everyone else to do something, then it might never happen or not happen in the way you want it too.  There are hundreds of examples of one person making a difference, and that can be countered with there are millions who haven't.  But those people who made the difference certainly weren't thinking that.  We have a lot of power with our choices, and when we don't make a choice we are allowing others to make a choice for us.
