The place where the system and people's intentions meet is the political arena.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Politics is a contest among people of diverse backgrounds and philosophies, advocating different solutions to common problems. The system only works when principled, energetic people participate.
My involvement in the political arena is to make sure there's a place for culture.
We've got to figure out a way to cause communities to also want them, the political, organized bodies.
There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.
This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we're not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there.
I understand that, for some, everything is political.
Politics is the science of who gets what, when, and why.
Politics exist in the boardroom, as well.
Politics is activity in relation to power.
Politics disappears; it vanishes. What remains constant is human life. So I try to develop a perspective in my writing where politics is just one of the pieces of furniture in this furnished world. It is not the purpose. It is not the goal.
