Turn Me Over, I'm Done on This Side

SEE HERE Worth a read! Thomas Sowell on the McChrystal thing. When we focus on politics we tend to ignore the things that are really important and that is because politics has become degraded. The word derives from the Greek polis (the city, ancient Athens for example) and politics was what was necessary for the good of the people. That must seem a little quaint today when politics clearly means the good of the politicians. That would be enough for Aristotle to brand it as bad government. He has it exactly right. We've let this go on too long. Just because you're being toasted slowly doesn't mean you don't nevertheless end up as toast.
