Know the definition first before you strut around proclaiming politics to be above everything else. It is merely an opinion and like all human attributes, flawed. It seems to me that no one has it right and our selfishness in achieving power and fame is contradictory to the benefits of the people. Being political is just a contrived way of carrying out one's own opinion into action. It does not make one more intelligent, profound, humanitarian, nor prominent. Hence, someone like Charlie Sheen can be a politician.
