“So he (the democratic man) spends his days indulging the pleasure of the moment, now intoxicated with wine and music, and then taking to a spare diet and drinking nothing but water; one day in hard training, the next doing nothing at all, the third apparently immersed in study. Every now and then he takes part in politics, leaping to his feet to say or do whatever comes into his head. Or he will set out to rival someone he admires, a soldier it may be, or, if the fancy takes him, a man of business. His life is subject to no order or restraint, and he has no wish to change an existence which he calls pleasant, free and happy.” -- Plato, The Republic My name is Jason Levitt, and I am the democrat Plato so dispises. I like to drink and watch live music, lift weights, read, write, play guitar and talk politics. My life is subject to some order, but my interests and imagination are not. This page is simply an outlet for my creativity. It has a few poems of mine, a few pieces on politics and a picture book to give some visual insight into my life. So go ahead, look around.
