The best politics are a pretty poor substitute for life and...the worst politics compound their felony by forcing us to leave the front stoop to do something about them. Our quarrel with the abuse of power should not be only that it is cruel and stupid but that it takes so much time away from other things—like loving and being loved, and music, and a good meal and the sunset of a gentle day.
