Being recently 65, I'm not sure I agree with you in detail. While I'm sadly aware that I'm not quite as mentally agile as I was forty years ago, I also have forty more years of experience that I think make me, generally, a better person.
Now, I realize that at my age, I could also start to go down the tubes tomorrow. So some concern about age is reasonable. But I think the main thing is to put an upper limit on years in elected office.
I'm not a big fan of most existing term limits laws, because I think the limits are too tight. In Cali, after our "reform", one person can serve a maximum of 12 years in the state legislature (Assembly or Senate). I think that is too short. Analogizing from my life in corporate America, it takes you a year to figure out where the rest room is, and a couple of years to identify the relevant parties.
Now, I do appreciate that power corrupts, so my personal term limit concept would be a total of twenty, or maybe twenty-five, years in elective office. This would include dog-catcher (if elected), sheriff, council-person, county supervisor, state legislator, state-wide officer, Congressmember, Senator, VP, Pres, and any other elective position. This would be much easier to monitor than bird certificates, and while I don&#039;t claim it would <i>eliminate</i> corruption (nothing can eliminate corruption), it would at least put an upper limit on it.
It&#039;s not age, it&#039;s time in office.
Stamina? You think that would be 45 minutes of straight copulation? I&#039;m thinking a guy who obviously has a thing for catheters probably has ways to fill the time.
we have two governors sitting in prison as i type (though rumor has it george is getting out soon...). we have a convicted felon running for jesse&#039;s replacement and we have rahm well, being rahm.
Derrick, just when I think I&#039;ve got you figured out, you do this. U ^^0|2 1337 7#4|\| i.
My forty-year-old memory disputes you. My current incarnation cannot argue.
What I want to know is who the fuck is Anne Arundel, and why was she fucking this guy&#039;s catheter in a back seat somewhere?
That is, actually, wonderful/
Possibly. I&#039;m not a Marylander, but the only way I would have missed Spiro is if my sights were off.
There&#039;s a sidebar?
Fuck no he doesn&#039;t. This is important to me.
