> In a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'holds office'; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve.
~ John F Kennedy. Profiles in Courage
On that note, I do not do my part to contribute to society. And I am ashamed, as I know I won't take the steps necessary to act upon my convictions and involve myself in local politics.
