People often say, with pride, I’m not interested in politics. They might as well say, I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.
If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.
-Martha Gellhorn
Martha Gellhorn (11/8/1908-2/15/1998) was an American novelist, travel writer and journalist considered one of the great war correspondents of the 20th Century, covering such conflicts as the Normandy Invasion and the Vietnam War.

The philosophy of a political state was first created by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.(Wikipedia)
In other words, politics is as “old as the hills”, and “there is nothing new under the sun.”
Politics has always been a matter of thought, reflection, and action…for the better, or the worse…then, and now.
For the benefit, or detriment of people…for freedom, or oppression.
Politics, currently, is following it’s usual, mercurial path throughout our world.
As has happened so many times throughout history, this path has again reached a crossroad : to create a philosophy of politics and society through intelligent, sound, and beneficial judgment and policies enhancing the freedom and rights of it’s citizenry; or , establishing an atmosphere of upheaval, violence, and anger among it’s inhabitants.
This struggle, this battle, this war is occurring in many, perhaps, all nations on earth…including the United States.
Every human being must decide, must choose which path to follow.
There cannot be any bystanders…stand up and be counted.
It is not a skirmish…it is a war.
Enlist now.
Vote.
Do not be afraid.
