Yep, I'll probably spend around $40 by the time it's all over! :thumb: I think the word "politics" itself has gotten a bad rap due in part to the politicians who abuse their powers and pull stunts that ought to get them canned and would in the real world.
Webster defines politics as "the science of government; that part of ethics which consists in the regulation and government of a nation or state, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity; comprehending the defense of its existence and rights against foreign control or conquest, the augmentation of its strength and resources, and the protection of its citizens in their rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals. Politics, as a science or an art, is a subject of vast extent and importance."
Nothing dirty, underhanded or anything else there. I think we've gotten WAY away from the real meaning of the word to the point of believing it is a bad thing. Not so much if you look at it the way it's supposed to be. This is what myself, Steve, George and Dave all want to do - preserve and protect KCBS as it should be for members, not as a group of people in it for their own benefit believe it should be.
