Spot. On! I guess my one question on this: At what point in our humanity did politics lose its original intent & purpose? Or was it always meant to be this way? :(

"No, Drake it wasn't like that! Solon, the Greek philosopher of the 7th-6th century BC who is considered to be the father of Democracy explicitly states that that without virtue, justice, equality, knowledge, responsibility and an undying desire to serve the common good, Democracy cannot exist. I am writing a poem on that: "What Politics Should Be" we might prepare something on that. I am waiting your call! Thank you! "
