A while back you were complaining that I never oppose any statements here...

Well, here is one you can be sure I am against. With all due respect your statement that;

"If we limit the President to two terms, why not all? The need for fresh blood is evident in many cases."is the wrong analogy, and does not express the true needs of "WE THE PEOPLE"...

WHAT "WE" NEED IS POLITICIANS THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE PROBLEMS, HOPES, AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE ELECTORATE, AND NOT SPEND THEIR TIME BEING CAJOLED AND DINED BY LOBBYISTS WHO PROVIDE THEM WITH SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO GET REELECTED THE NEXT TERM, FOR 2  MORE YEARS, AND START THE CYCLE AGAIN.

All you have to do look at Congress. The rate of the incumbants getting re-elected is 96%. And, there in hardly any "FRESH BLOOD".

California in the 50's and 60's was the bright light in the world. It was made so by a group of politicians who had the dream of making California a great State, and executed on the dream in a bi-partisan manner. They could do this because there was no term limit...

The Chairman of Tranportation committee was a 20 year assembly man from Northern California who once sold of the need for a modern transportation highway system, single handedly ran the needed legislation through, (he could do this because he did not need the help of the lobbyist to get re-elected), thus creating the best super highway system know to man at the time...

University of California, one of the greatest institutions of learing ever created by man, was created by men and women of vision who funded its growth and provided for a FREE higher EDUCATION because they were certain that it was good for the people of California, and not because they were addressing the WANTS of some lobbyists and wanted to make sure they would be re-elected.

Today, after almost a quarter century of term limits in California, this once Great State has degenerated to being the LAST in everything because politicians know their fealty is to lobbyists and BIG MONEY interests and if they plan to get re-elected they better play in that Ball Park or else "FRESH BLOOD" shall replace them...

Sorry for the rant, but this is a subject that IRES me everytime I am exposed to...
