In Pensive Pose

I don't get politics either. It's a beastly rotten behemoth, and it's not saving the whales either, gay or otherwise.I hope your test went well.

Politics is actually relatively simple: it's all about the acquisition and application of power, which can take many forms: money, influence, and (rarely) leadership. As long as you remember that politics is primarily about expanding any given player's power base, it's pretty easy to see why the politicos do what they do.cheers!aj
