The Easy Road of Cynicism

It's the easiest thing in the world to be cynical: 'all those politicians, they're only out for themselves', etc.

The chief attraction of this is that you don't have to grapple then with what the 'politicians' are actually trying to achieve.

Probably the most ironic thing is that many who take this easy road of cynicism -- particularly in the media -- are also the ones forever complaining about the supposed lack of bipartisanship in DC.
