Regarding politics, truth from thousands years ago

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you
end up being governed by your inferiors. "

"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being
governed by those who are dumber. "

Plato
427 BC - 347 BC

昨天坐了最晚的班機從香港飛回台北。疲累之餘，家裡的電視機又再度傳出李濤的聲音，頓時神經就緊繃了起來。在上海因為電視太難看了而不看，開電視不是打電動就是看DVD，也倒是沒什麼心理負擔。但是一回來台北，那種令人不快的新聞、評論等等又開始排山倒海而來，無可避免。

剛好看到柏拉圖關於政治的評語，故以銘之。
