MAIN Society Politics

There's no subject quite like government for raising the blood pressure of the body politic.

One option is feeling powerless. Another is getting involved and educated on the issues about your nation's political life and the state of the world.

For those who claim to have no interest in politics, it can and does permeate every aspect of life (just think about negotiating television time with the kids or surviving power politics at the office.)

Around the Web, take the international barometer on politics and how it effects the way people lead their lives, what kind of rights they have, how they raise their kids, what schools they go to, and when they can retire.

Did we mention taxes?

As the old wise man once said: Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber ~ Plato, Political Quotes & Sayings.
