“*We must remember politics is the art the possible NOT desirable.*
Pray tell Ringo; what ever do you mean by THAT?”
It means we cannot have perfect politics that represent all or even most of our values. We live in a world where most people are different from each-other.(big surprise there) But what that really means is that we will disagree on almost everything and that as individuals we will be in the minority on many if not most aspects of life.
As Government grows to consume those areas of life and impose its uniform policy upon all miss-fortunate enough to live under it, our politicians will inevitably have to be judged on policies that we will disagree with them on.
Short of striping down government we cannot change this fact, we must instead accept that we will find a great many-things about our leaders policies & personality that we disagree with.
If marriage & couture were not issues in which Washington had butt it ugly head in, then Mark Sanford’s placing of romantic love above the commitment of marriage would not be an issue.
Thank you for your response. The original statement doesn’t hold sway with me because, primarily, I don’t know what the sentence is. Cannot diagram it on the board. As for the rest of what your posted: We do not agree on several points and I don’t know what you are getting at overall.
