I'm interested in politics the way other people are interested in sports, except that I don't have a "team" that I root for. But I find the competitive process very interesting, and digging around behind it in the economic, philosophical, historical and polisci aspects is very stimulating.
Willravel, I'm skeptical of most politically-generated "change", primarily because of the sausage problem and the problem that it often can't be implemented without power being conferred on people who probably shouldn't have it. That's why specific narrow issues are fine to address through politics, but our happiness in life shouldn't be.
