It's way, way, way past time that we do away with career politicians, that we implement strict term limits, and that we start selecting public office holders from the ranks of 'the people', not from a cadre of politically motivated attorneys, or from the ranks of those who have never held a real private sector job, or from the ranks of celebrities of any stripe, or from the ranks of those whose only credibility comes from the university they attended. That formula has led to corruption, deceit, arrogance, and incompetence in government - and worse, to the weakening of our nation.
Great comment, neverevergiveup! Very well said.
