Lesson in politics

Son: “Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?”
Dad: “Sure son, what’s it?”
Son: “What is politics?”
Dad: “Well, let’s take our home for example. I’m the wage earner, so let’s call me Management; your mother takes care of the money and spending, so we’ll call her Government. We take care of your needs, so let’s call you the People. We’ll call the maid the Working Class and your baby brother, we’ll call him the Future. Do you understand son?
Son: I'm not really sure, Dad. I’ll have to think about it.
That night, awakened by his baby brother's crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parents' room and found his mother sound asleep. He then went to the maid's room, as it appeared to have lights on. Peeking through the key hole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheard by his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to bed. The next morning:-
Son: Dad, I think, I understand what’s politics is about?
Dad: That’s great son, let’s hear it in your own words.
Son: Well, Dad. The Government is sound asleep, while the Management is screwing the Working Class. The People are being completely ignored and the Future is full of shit!

God’s plan made a hopeful beginning. But man spoiled his chances by sinning. We trust that the story Will end in God’s glory, But at present...
