I honestly wish there were term limits. Being a politician just shouldn’t be a career; once it becomes that way, the looming threat of re-election totally screws up everything. It becomes a race of pandering, rather than doing what may be right.

I like the idea of term limits too, but wouldn't you get a similar problem? Once someone's elected, why should they bother trying all that hard to please their constituents (by accurately representing them)? I mean, they'd have to really screw up to be "fired" before their term was up. Actually, I guess we'd have to get specific about what those "limits" might be; I think I'm assuming it'd be a single term, when that's probably not the case.

So... never mind.

In other news, here's what passes for free speech on college campuses these days. I mean, this is honestly scary. So much for tolerance.
