Distric rep in the state house. That's where the nuts and bolts of legislation takes place that affects people most. Then, after establishing a sterling record of ethics and honesty, U.S. Senate.

In an old Twilight Zone epi, Burgess Meredith played a librarian who was henpecked to the nth degree because he "wasted" his time reading. One day, while in the basement of the library, WW III broke out and everybody was killed, except for him. he was tickled to have all the time to read books and nobody to henpeck him. Then he broke his glasses.
What form of entertainment would you choose if you were to remain in a solitary situation for the rest of your life?
