I would like to know about your interest in politics.
Not too much recently, but I was always intrigued by
the machinations which went on. Participated in a number
of 'mock' assemblies, which ran county wide 'fake' governments.
Also was involved in debates.
Never had the kind of popularity to run for school
positions, but honestly, there wasn't the kind of
deal cutting going on there, nor decisions that I
was interested in.
Participated heavily in certain college issues, however,
and went about forcing money to be moved into the
correct places (in my view
)
Studied US history enough to have a pretty good understanding
of the processes. Much less of English, French Revolutionary, Weimer,
Roman, and Soviet political processes, though not enough to really argue the
law from that basis. Would like to look at some other forms more carefully,
such as medieval Polish, and the later Byzantine senate, as well as the
politics of the Italian city states.
