Yes, I obviously have no desire to be an elected politician. I could not care less about running for elected office. I liked being a writer and reporter, and would have liked to advance in that direction but it is very competitive and fewer papers than ever, so no great job prospects there in the future can be expected. Elected politicians have to feel obliged to do whatever the people want, which is not necessarily what I care about. I would rather have a real job with a real paycheck and not have to be dependent on the fickle finger of political money and I just don't do that. Don't waste your breath trying to train me in the field of politics.
