Term limits, age cap, physical test, acuity test. NO exceptions, all elected offices period.

You pose some really good questions, but bottom line, these politicians can't give up their political power. It's an addictive drive. I was involved for time and really senced this force.

Power is a drug

Get them the hell out bottom line

[@seitzme]

It’s pronounced “fine-stine”, not “fine-steen”. It’s a valid topic, but such an obvious error distracts from the point.

[@sdmwoodworking]

Exactly. It annoys me every time I hear it. EI, at least in German, is pronounced "eye," as in "Ich bin EIN Berliner" (for those of us of a certain age).

[@seitzme]

@@sdmwoodworking Yep, especially for a public figure whose name has been frequently broadcast. It's funny to me that the complaint is about older people's acuity, yet the complaint itself contains such a glaring error. P.S. In my case, my name should be pronounced "sites" but people often pronounce it "seats".
