### This is an interesting perspective but rather alien to me - while I
appreciate the pleasure of a spirited debate, I feel that freedom stands in
inverse proportion to the amount of politicking you are forced to take part
in. If you truly like politics, as opposed to merely using political means
to achieve ethical goals, there might be something wrong with your
character.
