This picture of the liberal citizen, in at least one of the many possible incarnations, will have its attractions to many people. In a liberal culture, after all, politics is only one particular expression of human value, striving, or possibility. A few liberal citizens of a certain inclination will feel a genuine vocation in politics. A larger number will devote some time to political activity but it will not be a dominant aspect of their lives. Others will exhaust their political interest in voting in key elections, joining the local PTA, and watching the evening news. Still others will not even bother to register to vote or join a community group.
