Politicians generally are not admired. Many believe that politics is "evil" and that politicians are the propagandists
of this evil. One way to get elected is to announce that you are not a politician. You are a man or woman of the
people and you live "outside the beltway" as if all wisdom comes from any other place but where politicians roam.
I do not believe this. Politics is an honorable avocation and politicians are necessary, even crucial, in a
democracy. True, there are bad people who are politicians and the results of politics sometimes create evil
results.
Politics and politicians keep us from heading for the streets to settle disputes. Just look to dictatorships where
the are no politicians, save one, and politics is not necessary. The trains may run on time as in Fascist Italy under
Mussolini, but the people have no say except to revolt.
That is not our way. We go to the polls. We vote for politicians. Politicians listen to the people or they won't get
elected. Politicians debate. Politicians pass laws. People follow them. This makes for an orderly society and a
good society - the best society. |
