Being positive

I have, on occasion and in different places, expressed less than favorable opinions of politicians, both individually and collectively, that were, uh, less than positive. “99% of politicians are greedy, grasping, cowardly, power-hungry, self-centered quislings whose association with anything approximating truth is casual at best,” probably qualifies as a fairly negative view of politicians and I have occasionally, both privately and publicly, been taken to task for sharing that opinion. After a fair bit of reflection and introspection I have concluded that I could express a more positive opinion. Accordingly, I wish to express my view of politicians as follows: “1% of politicians are not greedy, grasping, cowardly, power-hungry, self-centered quislings whose association with anything approximating truth is casual at best.”

I don’t know about you, but I like my new, more positive self. I feel much better, now.
