Politics have been a mainstream need of many living in disorganized locations, why? The management of certain lands is so atrocious that they need someone to run and lead their land into a better way of life. Chaos breeds on mismanaged organization. For instance without politics a land may not be able to vote for their leader.

A leader that votes themselves in is no better than tarnished politics, yet that's the beauty of the vote. When a person votes, they can make a difference on levels overwhelming to the reality that could unfold for the future of their land and how it is run.

Politics, who needs it? When America was first born the king had a hard time with the fact that America does not need the king from another land to dictate what they do with their time and money. America fought all the king's horses and all the king's men until American citizens claimed their independence to choose the ruler of their land rather than settle for a king that shakes them down for pocket change due to the king's deficit created by the prior war.

Without politics there would be no vote since a land without political input could care less about what the people want or what they would hope for. It would be a land of restriction, a land of a tyrant or communistic rule.

Communism is an excellent example of what life would be like without politics. When in communism (semi-socialism) everything is the same, the way people live, what they live in, what they eat, the pay they work so hard for, and each must bow down regardless. That's just communism for you. Stalin was a communistic character that could shed light on what life would be like without politics, fair politics.

Ever let your child run wild in a fun park? Think hard and compare this to having no politics, no Democrats, no Republicans, and no Independent groups. The kids would have a lack of rules, a lack of stability, and a lack of direction. There would be no White House, no president, but perhaps a military.

Military men are not chosen by vote, they are chosen by merit of experience when given a higher rank. Comparing a military to politics can be tricky yet the truth remains. No one would be able to vote their leader in, it would be out of their hands. What if there are no leaders, where would the land end up? Confused, dismantled, and misunderstood.

Without politics these faces or moments would never have been known by the American public; George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, John Hancock, The Constitution, JFK, to the recent...John McCain, Sarah Palin, Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

That is what makes America one of the best places to live on the globe. America offers what some lands do not, the chance to make a difference not watch someone else make the difference for you. Politics makes this happen and without it, America would not be the great land we have all come to love.

Who needs politics? Everyone that wishes to be involved in their land's decision making. Politics are and has always been this important, always.
