Politics is a game; it is a contest; it is competition for power. Every human being is said to be a political animal and, therefore, politics can not be extricated from the affairs of men (and women). So, in the push and shove of daily live, men and women are engaged in a perpetual struggle to outdo one another. To tame the animalistic instincts in every creature, man employs his intellect to create rules for the contest. Those rules are meant to be followed to the letter.
