I'm reminded of "All is vanity..."  Solz (however you spell it) seems to have 
his tongue in his cheek, and be laughing at our being overly concerned with 
politics.  I thought he was making a bit of a joke!  We cannot get to the 
bottom of the mystery and the depths of life, so we distract ourselves by becoming 
overheated about politics, or sports, or shopping, or whatever.  I thought his 
quote had more to do with and observation about the human condition than to 
tell us not to become involved in politics.
