Uh, oh... I didn't know I could get drafted, I already served three years, and I wasn't drafted, I actually enlisted... oh, you mean politically, uhhh... (gulp)...<g> You know something, even though we're only joking about this, as soon as I read your post it occurred to me that it may not be all that simple to transfer one's ability from one sector to another, this perspective just came into focus... you really first have to love what you're doing, and I don't think the kind of passion you have for your work can be transferred to politics... unless, of course, one has that kind of passion for working with so many politicians... to me, that would be a real nightmare... I think that people make that same mistake by generalizing someone else's abilities from one sector to another, this is something I never realized until now, this is the mistake we all make every time when we look for a new leader... but it's really nothing new, we look for successful leaders to lead us...<g> GZ
