There is that phenomenon.

Self selection out of the lazy etc.

Thanks for the note.

As to appointed or elected - I, too, would opt for the elected. It is a matter of the lesser of two evils - but you know what they say 'the lesser of two evils - is still evil.' But keeping it an elected position - there is the opportunity for it to come out right. The other way - we are talking purely political payoffs.

I favor term limits - but then I favor term limits for every elected office.
