It's kinda odd that our politicians in the past used to be, for lack of better words, poets. I have often wondered about this and wondered what has happened.

- xnull1guest 12y agoThis is sort of off topic, but it is amusing. I would guess that it is a combination of: - A deemphasis of poetry and literary studies in the concept of being educated and cultured - The rise of writing staff and PR professionals in the practice of engaging with the public - The relative lack of importance writing has today compared to newer picture and video delivery (media is message, etc) - Inherited nostalgia for forms associated with 'classic' art styles
