I guess I should say that everything said in public has the potential to be political. Something that's political, in my mind, is anything that has significance for running the government or the larger social machine. "Don't touch the hot stove" could be political in a world where malfunctioning stoves are burning people. I think that "don't spend too much money" is political in a world that couldn't continue to function without the existence of people who will never have enough money no matter how frugal they are.
