A friend took me to task for saying I don't like politics but that I like public service. He asked how I could expect people to participate if I'm saying negative things about politics. He's got a point.
Perhaps my words were poorly chosen. Our political system in our country is the best anywhere, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to participate in it. What I don't like is the partisanship, the block voting in legislative bodies regardless of issues. There are certainly things I don't like about political campaigns - the name-calling, the cheap shots, the negativism -- but, yes, I appreciate our political system.
