When power becomes an end in Itself, politics no longer serves the people.
Martin Geddes attends a republican picnic (who knew?) in Tennessee and takes time out from his legal woes to reflect on what he finds.
Power becoming the end in itself is not merely a US phenomenon, but is widespread within the "democratic" western nations. It causes people to place their faith in political parties rather than policies, and diverts them from holding "their representatives" to account, with results with which we are all too familiar.
Throw "God" into the mix and you don't get a holy spirit, you get more obfuscation and confusion.
