Oh god, this is turning into a politics blog. But before anybody points out that the US politics aren't even relevant to a young developer living in a third-world country, think again: politics of a super power will inevitably overflow the country and spill over - whether they're good or bad, applicable or not - and the bigger the super power the more reaching effects these politics will have on the rest of the world.
With that in mind, you could certainly spend your time in a worst manner than checking out Agitproperties, who are going against the current standard of just nodding along to planned Government constitutional violations (or are they only modifications?) and pointing fingers against obviously biased journalists that insist on keeping a pretense of objectivity. Here's hoping that they can make a profit.
You'll have to be patient with the MySql errors, though. My guess is that their own success choked the pseudo-database (that's what you get for not using Postgresql).

Your first paragraph is right within my utmost set of beliefs. Congratulations on your keen world vision.
