It's time to rethink politics. Politics generally is policies chosen by governments to govern well for the people.

Today the politics which is supposed to be for the good of the citizens is turning to something it was not meant for. Governments which are supposed to promote goodwill among it's people and the world are involved constantly in the politics of fear, hate, war and inequality.

Mass media is controlled by the government to a major extent. Thesedays these very media give more importance to violence, war than peace. Media is becoming more and more the bearer of bad news. The negativity is flourishing at a drastic rate. It's not going to be too long until the black cloud of negativity covers the whole world in a black fog of war all over the globe.

Simply take a look at the spotlight given to the person behind the Virginia Tech massacre. He is now being portrayed as the evil incarnate. Possibly the news will keep dragging on until they have analyzed every stains in his underwear when he was 10. I'm not trying to undermine the deaths of innocent there. It is very shocking. Innocent people should not have to go like that. He was the cause of lot of pain and grief for many families who were inadvertently dragged into his message of hate.

The media cannot let go of the villian it seems. For how many days? At the same time the media is mum about another villian who is responsible for a crime thousand times bigger and thousand times more people than at Vtech. His name is George Bush and his policies have been instrumental in thousand times more deaths. Are the deaths of human beings in afganisthan or Iraq any less important than the deaths in the US? Are human beings in the US more important than human beings elsewhere? Don't they breathe the same air. Don't they all have families who cry on their deaths? Don't the have mothers and fathers, or children who grieve for eternity?

Sadly we as the public are feeding into this politics of fear, hate, war and inequality. We are helping make the bad government stronger. In doing so we are ensuring that the power of the people is weaker than it's ever been in history and it is becoming more and more obvious that 'power to the people' will be the thing of the past.
