Summary

This quote by American scholar and humorist Ronald Reagan highlights the similarities between politics and prostitution. By referring to politics as the "second oldest profession," he suggests that it has a dubious reputation akin to the oldest profession, prostitution. It implies that politicians often engage in manipulating, deceiving, or compromising themselves for personal gain, much like prostitutes do for financial gain. This quote is a humorous way of expressing the perception that politics can be driven by self-interest rather than genuine dedication to serving the public.

What sets science and the law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith. We're encouraged to ask whether the evidence actually supports what we're being told - or what we grew up believing - and we're allowed to ask whether we're hearing all the evidence or just some small prejudicial part of it. If our beliefs aren't supported by the evidence, then we're encouraged to alter our beliefs.
