                Afflicted by a severe case of temporary insanity, I once 'offered' for a position on our regional school board. I didn't actually 'run', since I recovered several days later and did my best to lose - and I did, though barely. 
  I know several politicians, and they're not even that bad - what I can't stand are the people surrounding them...
  That's why I am interested in geopolitics - you keep enough distance from 'people on the make', and you can deal with 'forces'...

                    OMG is right!
                
                I don't know whether to pray that my grandchildren never run for office or, if they do, pray they choose their other grandmother! 
  Thanks for bringing a bit of humor to lighten up the political landscape!

                Hey!  Hey!  Good for you.
  I'm a believer in participation in local politics as well as taking part in the big elections.
