The way the Government Works is through politics and politics is not a negative term but the way that businesses are conducted through the government. We call that politics. It is the right of every community and every local government to set their policy.

Around growing up and men had the power and tried to imitate them and my father wanted me to have a career because he was a lawyer in sth 60 positive and saw far too many women divorced by their husbands after they put them through graduate school and supporting them.
