Who were the "politicians" in high school? Do you remember them?
They were pretty much the puppets of the authority system which existed. They were pathetic toadies for the most
Not everyone can be a politician, thank God.
The politicians of the Boomer Generation are the boomers who disgust me. Consider the two boomer presidents. Consider the boomer-led congress: they stick their ethics into the freezer along with their bribes.
I saw this on an anti-war site:
To Disagree Silently is to Agree
Sign seen at Boston Protest March in 2003
No way.
There is no way that I will allow even those politicians I agree with to incorporate me into whatever corrupt body politic they envisage.
The original Christians withdrew from the pagan society around them. The Shi'a in Western Islam have a history of living in silence lest they be attacked by the ruling power.
Arnold Toynbee in his A Study of History describes the process of Withdrawal and Return where an individual or group withdraw from a society , then return to add their own original yeast to the fruits of fermentation.
They change Society because they cannot put their new wine into old wineskins.
To disagree silently may imply we disagree with all existing sides and have our own. Your insistence upon our forming ranks with one side or the other right now is your way of silencing us.
The Internet works as a Temporary Autonomous Zone whereto we withdraw to communicate with people of similar interests and whence we return with whatever new Boone's Farm we may have.
BUT, our Boone's Farm is infinitely superior to the dreg-filled swill offered to us by the political class.
