Politics

I watch and listen. We know this. Ultimately it comes down to the voting booth. I don't expect to influence others. I don't know as it's seemly to try. But yeah, I vote.

And almost all men are worse than myself. *snort* Even maybe most women, which troubles me.

Interestingly, the word "idiot" comes from a Attic Greek term describing someone who was insufficently involved in politics.

I love that.
