[QUOTE=FresnoThis begs a couple of questions.

1) Do you think you could do better than the mayor of your town?[/quote]My town's mayor has done a good, if unnoticed, job - so far as I'm aware. I'm too busy with other stuff to worry about running a city...
2) Does anyone here have any political aspirations for any level?
Well... after I graduate, I'll probably wind up working for the government - local government or central, I don't know. It's theoretically possible I'll end up in a genuinely political job...
