"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that"...

[Philmanoman]

Plato-"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors".


I am putting together a collection of politicians who you think fit this quote...would rather have videos but anything you would like to contribute would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a couple that I remember off the top of my head:

Unfortunely, this is also the most common result of participation in politics ...

You miss out on a lot of the sociopathic cult "fun" stuff. ;) :rolleyes:

[Xenophage]

I think Plato was making the case for being a politician.

[Liberty Star]

I had no idea Plato was so smart :-)

One of the penalties for participating in politics, is that you believe you are governed by your inferiors.
