Not long ago, an individual contacted me and we discussed politics.
Like most folks we both had different ideas on human politics, and an abundance of talking points covering our different views.
Interestingly enough, we both agreed that we need more integrity in the political arena, that is to say; more honest in politics.
Still, that sounded counter-intuitive, so I say said to my acquaintance in a cynical snicker; Honesty in politics, surely you jest, in which lifetime were you expecting this to occur? You see, as he mentioned honesty in politics, wow, so how would we go about that? Has there ever been in the history of mankind honest in politics? Don't get me wrong, I love concept, just seems problematic with humans involved is all.
He said without honest in politics we are doomed to repeat, He also stated; "I'm the father of three very successful, independent adults and three grand children.
I want to help preserve their freedoms and independence from an overgrown and bloated government on the verge of dictatorship," well spoken indeed, I applaud his caring and concern, don't we all feel this same way? And I told him; "I am sure you are not alone in those goals or that assessment.
" Still, how on Earth are we going to get honesty in politics if we keep electing the best liars into office? If there is no honesty in the election process, then how in the world are we going to have honorable men (or women) in office? The reality is that politics is a rotten way to run human affairs, and yet, this is what we've designed for ourselves, and unfortunately for us; it's not working very well - is it? No, it really isn't so, something must be done, because if we continue this process and keep expecting different results, well, that's just the proverbial definition of insanity then isn't it? Yes, indeed it is.
Please consider all this.
