Politics Schmolitics

With all the housekeeping that I have been doing, I have inadvertently removed the reason why I use the term "Politics Schmolitics".  I use it because I am deeply skeptical of our political process these days.  To paraphrase President George Herbert Walker Bush (papa Bush), our debates generate more heat than light.  Too much energy is spent in generating heat, not enough to generate light.  In generating light, there is the chance that solutions can be found to problems.  In generating heat, you are fortunate if you don't get burned.  I'd rather have more light than more heat.  It's better to turn on the light than to curse the darkness.
