I loved it. I no longer do. I loved it because I felt I had a better idea. Sometimes over my 17 years of doing that I was right other times I was wrong. What I learned was that being in the game helped me shape and influence the lives of many. <br /><br />A mentor of mine (a person from the opposite party) used to say ideas are better when they are part of the public discourse. I agree with him. I like many ideas in the public discourse. I have tired to keep that in mind this year. <br /><br />I grew tired of my life doing that.
