Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of our age is the subsiding of all other concerns to the predominance of politics. And thus, we have succumbed to a Lyndon Johnson-like dependence upon the power of the state. The tragic result has been that all of life has been politicized, and if the new social engineers have their way, politics will increase in power - especially in its power to penetrate into our everyday lives and rule our destinies. For in fact politics has become, for many of the political elite, a kind of state religion. . George Grant
About This Quote

Does any one of us want to live in a world where politics rules us? If we are not careful, politics will rule us. This quote from Noam Chomsky is a warning that we all must pay attention to the increasing power of the state, and the increasing intrusion of politics into our everyday lives. We must all ask ourselves what kind of world we want to live in.
