As we parents are aware, children take the easy way out. They want to begin employment at the top. No apprenticeship, and if possible, be handed everything by others.
I guess what I am saying, is that even should we "children" read and understand the Constitution, we would wish to ammend it, allowing this to continue.
As you decribed Congressman Boehner, so have we all become, and I am afraid the solution to the change in this attitude will be severe when it comes.
"Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year."
Good thoughts I hope will stimulate thinking. As to my suggestion for term limits I will only point to the term limits put on the Presidency as something I believe works. As much as I would like to see GW able to run for President in 08 I think back to 2000 and know that Bill Clinton would still be President today if there were no term limits.
Listening to Fox as I type Ben Stein is saying the same things about the present aid being given to Asia as Davey did long ago. Let's vote for Ben.
