Politics...could you imagine goin' for it?
So we all like to discuss it, analyze it, criticize it but are you people considering PARTICIPATING in it? Are we all passive moaning lazy cowards or just cynics without hope to really change something. Or do u just prefer something else?
Would you go into politics?
I think I would under certain circumstances, especially international politics like some nice UN position would interest me. Or being a political adviser...

Not a chance. I'm far too cynical, I mean realistic, to believe I could actually make a positive difference. It would only draw me closer to the stench of corruption.

Nah it's just my way of dealing with a failed driving test, mainly caused by a little child who's got nothing better to do than playing with snow next to the street...ehh..oh well... I didnt "stop immediately" (since i so came to the conclusion that that fucking kid had no intention whatsoever to cross the road) and that was it
back to the topic: I think there are situations where you, as a politician, can still change a lot: Rabin, Ghandi, Luther King...but yeah, thats the exception. There are many directors and just a few Spielbergs (or Scorceses for you Spielberg-haters!)

BWHAHA, anyone else find this really ironic? please don't go into politics! I can just see you requiring all little kids to stay indoors on snowy days for the sake of people taking driving tests.
nope i would not go into politics.
I don't have the public speaking skills.
And if you go into politics, if you wan't to be successfull (in the sense of gaining power), you have to "sell out" in one way or another.
thats why most politicians do whats best for them first, then they do whats good for the country.

its such a horrible profession IMO. you're always required to make decisions that may conflict with your better judgement or ethics. Your a puppet most of the time...

Politics...could you imagine goin' for it?
