It is difficult for me to understand the logic of those who say we need term limits because the voters are stupid. What would make stupid voters vote for a better candidate when the previous office holder was forced out of office by term limits? If their premise of stupid voters is correct, the logical conclusion to get better government would be to educate the populace. Expecting uninformed "stupid" voters to vote for a better candidate is rediculous.

Thanks for allowing me to voice my options. I was adopted in 1964 by a 50 year old man. I was 4 years old. Father always praised the government for all the good it done with our tax money.He raised me to work hard and pay my bills and taxes. In 1974 I met my biological dad. He was a truck driver for a petroleum company. I spent that summer making 6 trips to the Arizona dessert dumping thousands of gallons of gasoline into the sand. When I asked why when people were fighting over 10 gallons of fuel my dad said,"government creates panic an causs (?) to feed those that feed them." From day one our government was designed to take care of the elite and nothing more. Short of a revolution this wont change. So I ask all people to educate themselves. Understand what it is you are unhappy with, then take an educated stand for what you believe in.



During the conversations about the structure, term limits, or how our government would work. All of those considerations were made in the light of "the technology of the day". The distance of travel and delivery of the mail must have played a major role in how the ideological debate was shaped. As to the question of how long someone servers in an office goes. I would defer to the thought that Con Artists, whether it be from the King to a lowly pick pocket, have existed from day one. This is always the issue with creating utopia and why the ability to adapt to change is so important.
