I expect people to do what they think is their best interest. When they do, I enjoy pointing it out to people who don't get it. The joy I get in looking, understanding and pointing out how decisions and actions are guided by that basic principle is the sad part, primarily because I waste so much time doing it (my wife hates it, so I come here for my regular fix). This is another one of my weaknesses, but at least I know what they are.
Just to be clear, I actually, don't have a cynical attitude about politics and government any more than I have a cynical attitude about wolves hunting and killing prey. It is just the nature of things.
