I would assert that term limits have turned our legislature into the same thing: a series of nameless put-up dolls, cardboard cutout pols with no identifiable sponsors.

It is a recipe for total lack of accountability, which is what we see.

The initiative process keeps putting patches on problems that are far more fundamental. It "protects" us from taking the hard medicine that results from electing responsible leaders. It matters not if it is a drugged out crack mom or a corporate lawyer, the process threatens to make welfare addicts of us all simply because of its inherent propensity to contradictory statutes, sops for the black robes of despotism.
