I disagree.
That might be true for some politicians, but the politically active
people I know, me included, is in it to make a change.
I would mouch rather read books, watch films, play computergames or
whatever than put time and effort into trying to change the world. But
concidering the state of the world, I can't _not_ be political. I'd love
to be ignorant again, but I just can't seem to unknow what I know.
Do not judge everyone based upon you own views!
/Roger, should've taken the blue pill
