Politics is the art of human ownership; the science of slavers. It's about who owns whom, who aspires to own whom and what they'll do to obtain said ownership. As such it will always be an area of interest to me--in the same sense that the earliest forms of slavery on this continent were of concern to abolitionists.
There's no paranoia in politics. If they're out to rule you, they're out to get you. Human government (slavery) is evil by design, function and definition. There is no 'good' amount of evil. Some evil may be necessary, but it is never 'good' nor should it ever be considered as such.
2 Corinthians 3:17:
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
