To a certain extent, I find the "horse race" aspect of politics interesting.  I do think that too much attention is devoted to that aspect of it by the press, though.

I'll let Mr Fry sum up my opinion.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

By politics here I mean the true politics part of politics.
Not the governing of the country stuff which most people find interesting, definitely not international relations (not its public side anyway), not quite even elections.
What I mean is all the bickering and manoeuvring and lying and all that sort of thing which generally goes on behind closed doors.


I don't care enough about that stuff to have an opinion.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

It's a love and hate thing. Too much and it becomes nauseating.

I hate politics but it is a necessary evil.  Even if all I do is vote and babble on the internet I have an obligation to participate.

I used to enjoy it alot, but over the years, that feeling has lessened as I've grown jaded.

So, I voted  a little. 
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

So, I vote all the time.

LOL

:unsure:

"Tim" and "jaded" are not two things I'd normally put together.

Sorry even when I posted that I should have said that it was at Tim - because yeah I'm not seeing it either. :hug:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
