He simply ain't interested, Ron. He is aware that comin' here and bitchin' at each other every day over politics is nothin' but a pointless behavioral addiction for various restless, crabby, and frustrated old minds, that it don't matter anyway what anyone says here about politics, that participatin' in it is absolutely pointless and only worsens one's general state of mind, and he is tryin' by degrees to break that habit entirely....like Spaw did a long time back.
