Hollywood and Travis - I just caught your discussion about term limits. I have long opposed such measures more on principle than political ideology. I was glad to see the Republicans recommend term limits for their House members back in the 1990s, but many failed to follow through with their promise. We are at a point where you cannot expect self-regulation to work and the people seem unwilling or unable to address the matter at the ballot box. However, ther is no way to make this change without assistance from the House and Senate and they have no intention of voluntarily limiting themselves with stipulated term limits. While I am trending toward a belief that this is a necessary change to correct the problems in DC, I am doubtful that we can expect any assistance from out esteemed re-elected representatives and those not yet elected will not turn over fast enough to make a difference. If you have a solution to this gridlock, I would love to hear it.
