This is a tangent, and I apologize for taking this thread off topic. Maybe this needs a thread of its own, but I’ll leave that up to moderators. You may hate politics and think it’s a very ungracious profession, but I think you would change your mind if you had a more in depth political experience. I could be wrong. You could be one of the many people in this country who doesn’t mind going with the flow, and you’re well within your right to do so. I find it very enjoyable to keep myself up to date with current events and politics. I also want to help technology education programs, and collaborative competitive project based learning programs (like FIRST) as best I can. Over the past few years I’ve developed political connections that will eventually allow me to better aid these and other programs that are very dear to me. I’m currently interning with the Democratic Staff of the House Science Committee, and I would definitely encourage anyone who has the slightest interest in politics to apply for an internship with their representative, senator, agency, or committee of their choice. I’ve only been on the job for a little over a week and I’ve been exposed to many wonderful experiences. Of course there is partisanship in politics, and there are shills for their respective parties, but there are also many good people who vote their opinion despite the stance of their party.
