"All politics is local, and mostly ridiculous." What do you think?

 "All politics is local, and mostly ridiculous." -Travis Fain, a writer for the Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina and his Lucid Idiocy political blog.

Well I guess his assertion that "all politics is local" would be correct. By definition and practice it comes down to he getting along and working together as people. If people are working on a common project,  whether connected by geography or ideals, their collective productivity and progress can be viewed as local.

The part about being "mostly ridiculous" appears to be more of an observation than a statement of fact. Given our human bent toward "having it my way" I'd say he is spot on here as well.

What do you think about this? Take a moment and let me know in the comment section whether you are reading this on facebook or on the original post on Being Still.
