did you vote? free will or determinism; do you have a choice?
fiction
Edward w Pritchard
Republicans control the House and Senate we hear; what sort of mean spirit policies will these guys stumble into in the name of individual freedoms and responsibilities? It's like exercise advice from a very self centered self righteous sort who pours chunked magnesium and slivered zinc over their organic oatmeal to start their day; when it comes to common sense they just don't get it. The other guys in the opposite political group here in America are the same but at first a little more subtle and maybe well meaning for a short initial distance.
Should you be involved in Politics once you have seen two or three candidates you admire fall from grace by displaying blatant motivation in the political arena to make themselves, family and friends wealthy? It's the same thing over and over.
Ancient Greek Epicurus and followers shunned politics. Most likely for the same reasons that many folks do today. Until modern candidates become ethical men and women before they seek office, who ever is elected will look to public office as an opportunity to rev up the stakes in their race to acquire and accumulate money and power for themselves and their followers.
Ethics; only a fool would discuss it. Political office; it's the ideal marketplace for those who are driven to seek and acquire wealth and power should they have a knack for self dealings and duplicity.
Walk about your gardens with friends and discuss philosophy and enjoy the breeze and sunshine. Turn a blind eye to small sins of those in elected office. Nothing is new under the Sun; when it comes to voting, do you really have a choice?
