Good and Politics in the Same Sentence?

There is a first time for everything I guess. This is the first time that I have ever heard about politics and good in the same sentence. According to Aristotle, politics is the most comprehensive master science. Politics encompasses strategy, household management, and oratory. It helps us to determine proficiency we must learn in each science. Politics contains all of the other sciences in one. It helps us to determine what we are to do and what we are not to do. So I read this and I thought to myself what Aristotle's idea of politics and ours are two totally different things. The first thing we think of when someone says is politics is political parties. Typically the Republicans and the Democrats and what they stand for. This has nothing to do with what the original politics were they stood for ways that we should live our lives not the party that we affiliate ourselves with.

  1. Ugh, I personally could never understand politics, so to me, at least, political discussions and the like fly over my head. Plus, I've noticed politics, or, at least political discussions, turn rational people into madmen for some bizzaro reason, so I stay away from such discussions personally.
