What's Politics

SON:  "Dad, I have to do a special report at school.  Can I ask
       you a question?"
DAD:  "Sure son, what's the question?"
SON:  "What is POLITICS?"
DAD:  "Well, lets take our home for example.  I am the wage
      earner, so let's call me MANAGEMENT.  Your mother is the 
      administrator of the money, so we'll call her GOVERNMENT.
      We take care of you and your needs, so let's call you the 
      PEOPLE.  We'll call the maid the WORKING CLASS and your
      baby brother the FUTURE.  Do you understand?"
SON:  "I'm not really sure Dad, I'll have to think about it.
      That night the boy was awakened by his baby brother's
      crying so the boy went to see what was wrong.  Discovering
      the baby seriously soiled his diaper, the son went to his
      parent's room and found mother sound asleep.  He then went 
      to the maid's room, where peeking through the keyhole, he
      saw his father in bed with the maid.  The boy's knocking
      went totally unheard by his father and maid, so the boy
      returned to his room and went back to sleep.

--- The next morning ---

SON:  "Dad, now I think I understand POLITICS.
DAD:  "That's great son, explain it to me in your own words."
SON:  "Well Dad, while MANAGEMENT is screwing the WORKING CLASS,
      the GOVERNMENT is fast asleep.  The PEOPLE are being
      completely ignored, and the FUTURE is full of shit.
