On the Sun Shines On Both the East and the West: And controversies still reign

 

How many times has the weatherman told you stories that made you laugh?

You know it's not up to the politicians and the leaders, when they do things by half

Who gets the job of pushing the knob?

That's what responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough

 

The Stranglers – Always The Sun

 

Politics and a failure of leadership have been a source of controversy in both the West and the East throughout the past century and longer.  -gw 

 

... urge them ... to refrain from entering into the tangled affairs of political parties and to have neither concern for, nor involvement in, the controversies of politicians, the wranglings of theologians or any of the ailing social theories current amongst men.

 

Shoghi Effendi, letter of 30 January 1926 to the Baha'i Spiritual Assemblies in Iran,
