  I don’t think “exciting” is the right word.

      There is a time for adventure, and this is not it.

      "And did you find adventure?" "No. Neither does anyone else. Adventures happen to other people. When it happens to you, it just looks like trouble." - The Ballad Of Sir Dinadan, by Gerald Morris, quoted from memory

  You know this part of the problem! Politics is now consumed as entertainment, and ask any writer of books or screenplays and they will tell you _conflict_ makes for good entertainment. Politics should be _boring_. The fact that we demand to be entertained by our political system is a big part of the problem.

    Far too many people decide to occupy the us vs. them part of their brain with National politics as opposed to sports. Both are basically useless as it relates to your personal quality of life but at least with the latter you can see nice geometric combinations between players on a pitch and some incredible athleticism in between
