Politics: A Definition

Sometimes, to understand a concept, it is useful to break the word down and trace its etymological roots. Let's take the word "Politics"

Politics: A word formed from two distinct words. Poli, Greek for many, and tics, the Latin derivative of the blood sucking insect common to North America.

So, from this we get the true definition of Politics: Many bloodsuckers.

I know, it's an old joke, but I thought it was time to dust it off and bring it back. :)

I'd like to add that tics infest people by waiting for them. Tics hide out in tree's, shrubs, & other high places so when a person comes by they jump on them. These tics feed on the hosts as long as they can until the hosts realize they are losing blood and have them removed......hopefully the people don't get some kind of infection from these things....
