"politics is not inherently bad."

A system that tells us we have to vote for Bush or Gore, and have no other choice, is definitely inherently bad.

"individuallism is a myth...with few exceptions, great accomplishments are the result of concerted effort."

Anyone who can say that and mean it should be shut in solitary confinement for a year with no entertainment or diversion of any sort except a copy of Atlas Shrugged.

In my humble (haw!) opinion.
