"It means voting. I like the way Plato wanted us to do it: all politicians would be housed in barracks. They wouldn't have much money, but they'd be taken care of by society, so the only thing they would have to do is govern."

"I think it would be hard to be a paid politician and a Buddhist, but a good Buddhist could definitely be on the voting end of the equation."
