IRT "Eclipse showed how we can be united"
Politics merely keeps the peace.  Allows people privacy from others and protects private property and human rights.  Keep people separate and independent.  Too many politicians have the mistaken idea that politics is really for bringing people together.  Culture, churches, charities, and religions that are based upon human VALUES rather than human RIGHTS are what bring people together.  This eclipse invoked human VALUES and so, people with personal causes or disputed rights simply came together without issue.  Lokahi kine.  Considerable problems arise when vote-hungry politicians conduct politics that usurp the "jobs" of culture, churches, religions, charities and similar.
