Politics is certainly a very dirty business.  One party denigrates and obstructs the other party and so on and so on.  We seem to be electing power brokers whose only interest is in themselves or some type of ideological stance which they see as a life or death issue.  Then they make it a life or death issue.  Of course politicians lie.  Is this news to anybody?  I wonder who would make a good public servant.  I wonder what those qualities would look like in such a person.  I wonder if that person exists or has ever existed.
