is the word 'Politics' abusive since it's origin?

Is the word "Politics" abusive since its origin.. this is the definition of the word from WIKI:

Politics (from Greek πολιτικός, "of, for, or relating to citizens"), is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to the art or science of running governmental or state affairs. It also refers to behavior within civil governments. However, politics can be observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. It consists of "social relations involving authority or power"[1] and refers to the regulation of public affairs within a political unit,[2] and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy.[3]

wow.. that does not seem abusive.. but why am I now talking about this.. Baba Ramdev wanting to go on fast/hunger strike (until death? not sure) for some good or bad reasons. He has a cause, that might not only benefit him but everyone, if done right. Now, interesting part is, a big bollywood film start comments on this saying - Baba has a political motivation behind his decision, and so he is not supporting him. My question is, who cares if you dont?

First, the word POLITICS/POLITICAL is made abusive? whats wrong if he has a political motive behind.. as long as he sticks to the original definition of the word. If someone has to do good to this society then something they minimum need is power to do it. and may be he is trying for that power... who knows.. or may be he becomes another bad politician.. we have been having them for long now.. so does not make any difference. Why is Anna not able to get the Lokpal Bill out.. coz he has no power to do it.. and the ones who have power to do it, is not willing to.. what if Anna, or someone with good motive for that matter, was in politics (non abusive) may be he would have done lot of good to this society..

I don't understand why these buggers (especially from the color world !! with no responsibility) even comment on someone doing something.. if you can do something.. go do it.. if you cant keep your mouth shut and just keep watching.

let us hope for something good to this society and something good to us... its just hope... good to have :-)
