Politics and religion.

I think term limits is an interesting concept but there are downsides. From a human capital management perspective - does this go for all position paid with tax dollars? How long is the learning curve? If the "term" ends just as the incumbent has fully mastered the job - what's the benefit? What is the ability of the organization to attract the quality they need with term limits?

Working out a system of term limits could be almost as complicated as solving the healthcare crisis!

I should have stipulated "elected offices". The term limit number may be related to the office. POTUS has the toughest learning curve of all; you have at most 8 years to take a crack at it!

The Dead song is "Touch of Grey", by the way.

Its a lesson to me, the ablers and the beggars and the thieves
The abcs we all think of, try to win a little love.

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
Its even worse than it appears, but its all right

Cow is giving kerosene, kid cant read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but its all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

Shoe is on the hand that fits, thats all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, but its all right

We will survive!

Gotta whip this dead horse one more time.

I was hoping that was the one with Interplanetary Correspondent Oderus Urungus.

Dang it, I was somewhat close at least. Swing and a miss.

In the words of the Geico Caveman: " I QUIT! I get it , but I quit." I cannot seem to get across my true views in the one-dimensional written word.

Thankfully, the Bible cannot be taught in public schools. After all, Jesus Christ was a socialist and teaching the Bible in school might be an attempt to spread a socialist agenda!

Indeed. With one HUGE difference. He taught us to be kind to each other of our own free will. Not to have Big Brother FORCE us to be charitable. We should be good to each other beacause its the right thing to do and not because there is a gun to my head if I am not.

Its the same line of thought as the "Christians" who try to use FEAR to lead people to Christ. "Believe in Him or you going to ROT IN HELL!!!"


But I will give you an "atta girl" for the try.

Air traffic controllers are not elected. They are part of a union. Term limits apply to those elected to office.

I realize air traffic controllers are not elected. Nor are dog catchers.

Just trying to discuss the concept of term limits from both sides.
