Politics?

Well, that definition i got on the first day of my Introduction to Politics class. My Professor at the time sat on the New York City Council (Councilman). He pointed out that the bottom line is that each position of the politicians provides them with the oportunity of determining where allocated resources (Tax Dollars) are spent. Start from district leaders, borough presidents, the mayor, The Governor, congressmen, senators, and the president etc... I believe it was John Locke that said "Government is a necessary Evil." Politicians have made it Hell. I believe that when people start out in politics, they do it with the best intentions but when they are faced with the realities, they realize what the power of money can do. I like to think of it as "If you lay down with dogs, your gonna get fleas."

John Locke was right. Most do start out with good intentions. Power corrupts, you know the rest of the quote. So, the solution is to limit power? Imagine that.
