Stop the mud?

I"ve heard the view expressed in recent days that politicians should stop slagging each other off and get on with running the country.

But I don't want them running the country... Do you?

Well, I certainly don't have the time/ energy/ public support/ advisors to do it . . .

But you do. You do have the time time/ energy/ public support/ advisors to run your life, just as each of us does, and by doing that we all run our own piece of the country.

We each run our own lives and make our own plans and trade and interact with each other, and from all those actions and activities and interactions the life of the country is made up.

The point is that the politicians don't run the country, they just get in the way of the rest of us who do .

I already do run my life.

I choose my belief systems, I choose my friends, I accept or decline employment, I choose who I murder, I choose which foreign bodies I entice into war, I care for those who can't look after themselves, I defend my property against my enemies (even though I don't actually own any property), I empty my rubbish into the river so it flows down onto someone elses property, I piss in the Ocean, set fire to forests . . .etc . .

I believe that was PC's point. I know it would be mine if I was the one who's blog this was.
