I majored in political science in university.
Thing is, when you take “Poli Sci”, you don’t really learn anything about “politics”.
You don’t learn about wealthy senators padding their expenses.
You don’t learn about mayors allegedly smoking crack.
You don’t learn about bureaucrats taking bribes.
You don’t learn about other mayors taking even bigger bribes.
You don’t learn about famous scions taking huge speaking fees to appear at charity events.
You don’t learn about ancient Italian prime ministers holding bunga bunga parties.
You don’t learn about Czech Prime Ministers resigning because their staff were illegally spying…on your wife.
You don’t learn about U.S. Congressmen sending photos of their junk to a female Twitter follower.
You don’t learn about the same Congressman then running for mayor of a really big city.
You don’t learn about the newspaper headline heralding the same mayoral candidate to be a “Second Coming” of this horn dog politician, which is even funnier given his name translates to DICK PENIS.
Poli Sci has become Poli Sci-Fi. Yet it isn’t fiction. I didn’t make this stuff up. I couldn’t make this stuff up!
A mournful sigh isn’t enough. We need massive relief from this crap. There are roads to repair, hospitals to build, schools to fix, economies to restart, jobs to create, countries to reform, victims to rescue, dreams to pursue.
We don’t need any more politicians. We need some heroes. We need them now.
