On various tv news and current events commentary, I hear many of the commentators speaking scornfully about "politics". I would like to remind them of some wisdom from the past.
The words of Otto von Bismarck: "Politics is the art of the possible". My words to follow the wisdom of von Bismarck: The breakdown of politics leads to trouble, strife and war. Do not denigrate "politics". However, you may denigrate bad politicians.
