GC, amazing self-analysis. I, too, wish I could coast through life uncaring. Quite often I'll catch myself doing just that. I think I go through phases. Years ago I was one big ball of rage when it came to politics. It consumed me. There is something to be said for letting go and enjoying your little slice of life, be it in the suburbs or the big city.
So yes, ask questions and rail against evil, but I'd keep that "Bush" side of yourself around. Some days are for backyard barbecues on Suburb Street without a care in the world.
