A quick glance at the different threads in FYM proves that we all talk about politics quite a lot here.
BUT, what do you *do* politically? I know it's fun to have these discussions, but IMHO actually getting involved in the causes you believe in is far more important. (I realise lots of people don't have the opportunity to campaign etc, so I'm not criticising those who can't, or choose not to campaign - just saying that personally I see it as incredibily important.)
Do you campaign for a political party? Go on anti-war demos? Campaign agaisnt racism? Get involved in anti-globalisation activities? Work on pro-choice campaigns? Or any of the million and one other ways to be politically active?
And, sort of a related question. What do you think is the value of having political debates/discussions as we do here (and in other situations)? Do you see it as just a bit of fun and a way to relax after a long day at work or school? Or is it more important than that - maybe a way to influence what others think, or to present them with ideas that might challenge their existing beliefs?
