Many roads lead to political apathy. Mine led right through the dark heart of the American system, where our leaders only speak in text lifted off press releases and every step they take follows a plan of outlandish choreography.
Classroom politics doesn't format so well with the real world. I miss those spirited, substantive debates - by college's end, political science held my interest more than English lit. Out here in the wilderness, it's all sound bites and missives cut down to the barest frames just to fit on a postcard. A major mid-term election nears and my interest wanes to the point of extinction. Too many "show votes" to rile up the party base; meaningful change will set on the shelf for another term.
If you want substance, click on a weblink. Few candidates know the meaning of the word.
