Engagement with even local politics would require being plugged in, would it not? Surely all the information that you require cannot be first-hand, and would you not also wish to increase the reach of your voice? The mass media, I would think, are crucial for such engagement (as also are the not-so-mass media). Most definitely getting away from the din of the media can be soothing or even exhilarating, depending on your frame of mind at that time. However, it is not something that anyone who doesn't believe in a rejection of politics and other worldly affairs can ever hope to find sustainable. Do those who've experimented think otherwise? - - Pranesh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkvxhQsACgkQ7JoSBR1cXwefpwCePV21f81wj2kfJhhy3YF4OMgj Bu4An2h/eow1J9bQMTn2yGnLmFzzcQaM =waX0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
