In spite of its name Politics As Usual is not really about Politics. It's about human nature. Webster's dictionary has ten line items for the definition of Politics. The first is that Politics is the art, or, science of government. The fifth entry says that Politics is the "competition between competing interest groups or individuals for power." It's not until entry eight that we find how most of us think of Politics: "the political opinions or sympathies of a person" and especially when taken together with the competition for power.

Human nature, on the other hand, is simply defined as the general characteristics, feelings, and behavioral traits of humankind, regarded as shared by all humans. This record consists of my observations and musings about humanity and the human nature that we all share, both the good and the bad. So if this record has lyrics that are interpreted as political it's because we recognize that governments are run by people and it's always easier for people to s e e the faults in the opposing view than any commonality that is shared. If I've done this right, and I think I have, everyone will think l've written i t about their political opposition. I hope that is the case because at the end of the day we are all human. All capable of its greatest triumphs and its darkest failures.
