I wasn't prepared to talk about it and I'm not lying.
Okay.
That's true.
More often than not, I'm asked to speak about politics, all right?
I will speak on issues.
I will speak on principles.
I will speak of politics in its most noble understanding, as Aristotle and Plato spoke about it, service of the common good.
You want me to speak on that, count me in.
I will not become partisan.
And I will not become personal in ever opining about a particular person or a particular political party.
I may have an opinion on it.
I don't feel it's good for me to say that.
Why?
Number one, Clark, I'm not an expert.
Number two, selfishly, I get in a lot of hot water.
And number three, my people have told me they don't like it.
They want us to speak on principles, policies.
They don't want us to get particular and partisan, okay?
And if I can keep those guidelines in mind, it kind of helps.
