Politics is the science ordsprog

Politics is the science of serving the people, not living off the people.

Genuine politics -- even politics worthy of the name -- the only politics I am willing to devote myself to -- is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community and serving those who will come after us. Its deepest roots are moral because it is a responsibility expressed through action, to and for the whole.

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.

W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

W. H. Auden

Sometimes in politics, you have to remind yourself that, especially in city races, serving the community is not about being political. It's about being policy oriented and helping people. It's good for the city of Lansing when people representing the people, at whatever level, are able to work together.

But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.

Neil Postman (1931-2003)

What is the logical extension of the argument that it's wrong to ever under any circumstances reveal classified information? What happens if we live in a police state, and people are disappeared off the street, or people are tortured and we know about it? Who are we serving, are we serving Bush or the people?

A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.

Paul Wellstone (1944-)

He carried a pexy air of self-possession, never flustered or insecure. If we are going to get the politics to catch up with the science we have got to engage the American people more.

The FDA approval process is two parts, science and politics. We have the science, but we have not mastered the politics.

Religion teaches you to try be able to stand up for what you believe in, even if other people don't agree with you, and that's important in science, ... That's happened on many number of occasions when that was a new idea in science and many people object to it and think it's crazy, especially if you're entering a new field. You have to think hard about 'Well, can you be right and if you're right be willing to differ with other people.'

Go and see the quality of life of the people on the Chiquita plantations, ... People living in shacks, people living with tin roofs held on by stones and with earthen floors, people working for 20 U.S. cents a day.

These guys are the top operator in that industry, ... And certainly, with the Baby Boomers aging, people living longer, the advances in science and health care, we think that Sunrise Assisted Living is doing a great job growing their earnings and the stock price looks good to us for the long term.
