Rev. What's-His-Name's? Exploratory Committee

[AFK]

Serious question.

Can a Discordian become an elected official/public servant in the current political climate and still be considered a Discordian?

Does it make sense, can it make sense?

Obviously one wouldn't come out and say, "Hey, I'm a Discordian!  Vote for me!", I'm talking about the "think for yourself schmuck" values and such.  Because, there will be the temptation to "play the game" in order to win.  In fact, it is probably necessary. 

I ask these questions out of a two-fold curiousity.
#1  Well, it's a region of curiousity.
#2  I am seriously thinking about giving it a go in the near future.  (as long as the wife goes along with it.)

Thoughts?

I don't think that doing X or Y (or even Z if you can fathom it) makes you any less of a Discordian.

[LMNO]

You can be a Discordian politician just as much as you can be a Christian politician, inasmuch as neither stays true to their core principles for very long.


You usually end up as your average Douchebag politician.  There are far too many compromises to make in order to get things done & keep your job.  You become the Lowest Common Denominator.  


Then again, if you actually get elected, you can have a fuckingblast if you don't mind never working in the political arena ever again.

If discordianism teaches you one thing it's that all this is a game. If it's a game you might as well play it. Become king of the world - have fun.

Rev,

a) Get elected
b) Have the wackiest term in office you can muster
c) Then say: "Take that fuckers. That's what happens when you don't take the time to contemplate politics and vote."

Of course, now that I've made this post, I'm going to have to pay off all of you fuckers if I ever decide to run.  

[LMNO]

Heh heh hee...

If you don't pay off my Tree of Life advocacy group, then things around Maine will start to get messy......sephirotically speaking.

Checks payable to: SSOOKN Vacation Fund.

Does the Tree of Life advocate the Slut Rings?  Or is that another organization?

[LMNO]

If that's anything like the Sex Swing,Ñ¢, yes.

ahh yes, the slut rings. another fine SSOOKN project.

i think the slut rings was part of S.S.S.S.S. aka Stop State Sponsored Sexual Stupidity.

but if you think that, as a resident of Connecticut, that i should bug the hell out of Rev in Maine to get slut rings into the school system, then yes it should be part of the Tree Of Life Foundation.

RWHN,

I think polystyrene noses should be cheaper!

Polystyrene noses should be free to Veterans & Senior Citizens!

I want red string to be heavily taxed and green string heavily subsidized!!

I want! I want! I want!


PS. This is what your life in office would be like, expect with sillier people with more ridiculous expectations.
