My experience with democracy

I ran for Union office and lost. Unlike the other candidates I did not campaign actively and chose to speak about age discrimination and workplace bullying at the debates. In fact I stated that my sole purpose was to raise awareness of these issues and challenge the real candidates to address the issue.

Unlike the other candidates I congratulated the winner thanked my voters and told them to support the winner. I would have had headaches had I won.

No doubt!

Why did you seek the position in the first place? Sounds like a job that I myself wouldn't want. Maybe I'm too selfish -- or something.

I wanted to bring a discussion of age discrimination and work place bullying
into the mix.
