Authentic Politics

so the lumbering giant is starting up presidential politics again and we all know what that means to the rest of the world. i had a few misgivings last time around about al's support for the guy that lost, but i liked his running mate, he seemed like a straight shooter with an open mind. now it looks like he is making a move to change the entire political field...a politician talking aobut conditioning and authenticity?

"we're so conditioned. we're conditioned to say the same things, we're conditioned to say what's safe, we're conditioned to be political, and it's hard to shed all that. i can be in the middle of being what feels real and authentic to me and i'll get into a little reel in my head; i can see it happening and i have to pull myself back out."

jeez...a politician talking about the genuine human condition?

please note this is not an endorsement or anything like that...i'm just interested and moved by some of this talk...i'd like to see more of it. not just by politicians, but by writers, policemen, husbands, wives, parents, children...
