Politics? Boring? Politics Is History On The Wing! What Other Sphere Of Human Activity Calls Forth All That Is Most Noble In Men's Souls, And All That Is Most Base? Or Has Such Excitement? Or More Vividly Exposes Our Strengths And Weaknesses? Boring? You Might As Well Say That Life Itself Is Boring!

What A Heap Of Ash Most Political Careers Amount To, When One Really Stops To Consider Them!

You Can't Make Sense Of The Present Unless A Part Of You Lives In The Past.
