There's something truly facinating about exploring into why people want to help or influence their fellow man. I often make the mistake of thinking someone has thought out their political ideas more than they have, and end up backpeddling when I realize I'm in a dogmatic talking-point discussion. I'm not sure what my facination with politics is, beyond that. I know I was never into politics till around 8 years ago. I actually think it might have been my awareness that George Bush might end up a presidential candidate that tipped it all off...
