Some say, it is better to speak the language of the enemy so you can defeat them.
Some say, playing politics is a necessary evil.
To those who believe these I ask, "At what cost"?
How slow is too slow? How incremental should political maneuvering to negotiate with other camps be for it to be nothing more than capitulation?
I maintain my view that playing politics belongs to the political world and is only for politicians. Some things are beyond politics and need to be kept so to maintain integrity. Sciences, education, and social welfare are some of these fields that should be kept out of political maneuvering and quid pro quo back and forth.
Otherwise, we may gain incremental change but at what cost?
