Sadly my funky friend my experience of real life has lead me to believe there are rather a lot of these. Now i have a political slant on my own life but many people don't, a lot have a simple 'us vs them' approach to things which is what makes things spiral towards violence. This is what creates people like the Cray brothers (London gangsters in the 1960's. now mast outcasts are simple folk much like those who live on planets like Manhattan. It just so happens that their 'government' likes to deal in drugs. how many people do you know who are just mindlessly patriotic in the face of overwhelming moral objection for no political reason whatsoever, and would therefore hurl themselves into a fight hating the person they are told is their enemy 'cos someone told them it was the right thing to do for their country.
I guess I just have a slightly more negative view of humanity than you do.
I can appreciate that someone roleplaying a more intelligent or high ranked outcast would care about house politics cos it pays for them to do so.
rant over.
ps. Parliament rule and Bootsy is the funkiest individual alive.
