- sjtgraham 15y agoHe sounds pretty fired up about this issue, which is one of the main reasons why people get into politics.
- tricolon 15y agoHe has stated explicitly that he sees himself as an educator. I agree with him. Politicians are, after all, people. Educating people is the best way to change how people think.
- nollidge 15y agoFrom the horse's mouth: http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/read/2011/08/21/if-i-were-president http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/read/2011/08/21/if-i-... I agree with him. Politicians are a reflection of the electorate. One can have even more of a positive impact by educating and energizing the electorate than as one lone politician.
- njharman 15y ago> He sounds pretty fired up about this issue, which is one of the main reasons why people get into politics. Am I the only so jaded to think that's comically naive? At least at the State+ level people (successfully) get into politics for power and money, period.
