[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Term Limits

[Joseph Hadzima]

howdy y'all

Ya know ... I'm beginning to be in favor of term limits. 
Too many seem to feel they need to tinker with laws to
justify getting re-elected; when some things would be
better is left alone.  That would put more responibility on
the States.  But I don't have a full blown simulation of
this, I'm only starting to educate myself on the good, bad
& ugly of term limits.

Happy Election Day Eve!
