I personally feel that politics, despite it's loftily-idealized origins as a source of governance, has become a disgustingly divisive pursuit that has devolved into a money-making scam operation of the best liars our citizenry can produce.
It is my personal opinion that political greed far surpasses any desire to help the population. When the long-term effects prove themselves to be toxic to the people but more profitable to those putting our laws into place, it becomes apparent time and time again how expendable we are.
Therefore, if I ever bring up politics please know: slamming of one politico does NOT mean that I support another one.
Every last one of them has the lowest of slimy, self-serving motives and I wouldn't trust a single one of them to care for one blade of grass on my lawn.
What it does mean is that something came up that I could not not write about.
