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

"I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians." --Charles De Gaulle

"Being in politics is like being a football coach - you have to be smart enough to understand the game and dumb enough to think it's important." --Eugene McCarthy
