Everyone's gotta do what moves them, Kat. I don't necessarily expect others to do or be the same as me. If you are highly motivated to participate in politics, go for it. I put my personal efforts into things which I find more meaningful than politics, but what I find meaningful may not be what someone else finds meaningful.

Joan Baez, for example, has put her whole life into various forms of political action, and I respect that. Bob Dylan, on the other hand, chose not to do that (despite people wanting him to), and I respect his decision also. They each did exactly what suited them.

I comment on politics simply because it's an interesting subject in itself, but I have no intention of getting involved in the political process, any more than I have any intention of getting involved in the labour unions or the military or the police force, to give three more examples.....but they still are all interesting subjects in various ways.
