The Politics of Pens

Bob Greene: It seems to me that politics is just one among very many things that you're going to have to lament. He says if we would separately talk about politics and then although by our pen purchases or fried chicken purchases separately and not attend the politics there, then we could have larger scale economies. Greene: If everyone needs to like only buy the pens, the master political side and only buy the fried chicken that matches their side and only go to the parts that match their side, etc., it will cost us a lot.
