Do you have a political philosophy?
Well I am a liberal, and in the proper sense of it. I believe in we are a brothers keepers, not in the sense of Communism but a wealthy civilized country has an obligation to take care of less fortunate and to provide a safety net for everybody. I believe in Democracy in the broad sense that we should be ever shared political vision.
There was a time, I was very young when I flirted in with the conservatives and it is a phase that people go through it. Seem who could see that there were excesses in wealth then but it cannot last very long and the only thing I would say is I think I have become, I only know that of my politics have changed but I have become more political. When I was in my 20’s maybe, when I was in that 30’s, I could imagine that policy was really a matter of intelligent discussions between people and the best ideas will automatically prevail. And that is not the way it is, there are discussions among intelligent people but you have to do more than just being right is no where near enough.
