The reason I could never become a politician is that I cannot sincerely characterize all on the other side as wrong and evil all the time, and all on my side as good and lofty all the time.

When I was in college, some saw my popularity among the student body and ran me on their ticket for a Student Government position. Once in, I saw the acrimonious partisanship which became daily routine. I was aghast that such ugliness could trump collectiveness on behalf of the student body at large. I learned then, in person, what politics in action was all about.
