Party politics is a virulent and deadly disease. It causes selective blindness, gross prejudice, hatred, division, irreconcilable differences, irrationality, and insanity. It will not end until there are no political parties left in existence at all, just an elected national assembly of non-partisan, completely independent representatives who are beholden to NO party machine, but only to the constituents who elected them...and to the nation they serve.

That is not going to happen in my lifetime. Political parties will continue to corrupt and dominate the political process. They will continue to divide and conquer the public.

And I know it.

And that's that.

But I pray that it WILL happen someday. (just as the absolute monarchies which once ruled everywhere were finally brought to an end. Every form of irrational political tyrrany finally ends...but it may take a very long time before the end comes for the present form of political madness...the partisan system.)
