Motivations

“At some point in the eighties a group of academics went to see P.W. Botha to tell him that things could not go on as they were. After listening to all of them, Botha stood up and said: ‘My dear Professors – you can come here with all your clever arguments and academic learning, but I, P.W. Botha, governs from a guts feeling.’
‘It’s the “s” that made me leave the National Party,’ one of them said afterwards.”

If I end up in politics, it may be for this reason. Not because they're ideologically wrong (although they are), but because they're idiots and they're wrong and they're running my country.
