Have you ever had aspirations to become a politician?

For a very short time, but when I was in high school I realized I had too much of a verifiable online presence saying things that ran radically against public morality and folk wisdom. Politicians cannot help but be liars by omission - they need to rally public support while hoping to diminish the intensity of opposition to them (if possible). You can't leave your thoughts on every little topic of controversy in any really gory detail and think that shit won't show up somewhere. And if I got into politics, the point would be to try to do some public good (and who knows how jaded I'd be by the end of it?) - not to spend worthwhile time explaining or defending this or that point of minutia or apologizing to every little group I might have offended. That alone would be enough to drive me utterly mad.
