Politics: The Undiscovered Country
I don't think holding office for a very long time is bad in and of itself but I don't think it's a positive either as I'm also not seeing how being in office for 30 to 60 years has any innate advantages. Even if we can move to 100% publicly funded elections (and especially if we cannot) I do think that term limits would still have a beneficial effect though I don't have any sort of proof to support my ideas. Ideas which are generally the same pro term limit arguments you'll find anywhere.

Politics: The Undiscovered Country
I tend to think of them as different issues generally. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting as much money out of politics as possible too and I think both need to be accomplished to get any meaningful change.

Politics: The Undiscovered Country
I think I read somewhere that the average length of time in congress is about 10 years so I'd probably cap it at no higher than 20 years. Though I'd also be for letting terms that would run a little longer continue on. Example would be someone with 15 to 19 years experience ( and assuming a 20 year limit) winning a senate race that would keep them in office to 21 to 25 years and they would be done after that.

Not really A small anti-climate change activist group writing a letter to the UN doesn't really mean much of anything and has even less to do with the scientific consensus on the issue.

The drinking thread
Laphroaig is pretty good but I prefer Lagavulin 16 year. My second favorite is a blended Scotch, The Peat Monster. My wife says it smells like an old dirty sock but I say it's delicious.

I don't remember exactly what I did this last time or most of time and also just in general. I think that I used backspace over a portion of selected text or delete on my phone. I'll try to pay more attention next time but that post was definitely posted via mobile.

I'm on the Kochs are evil side but I didn't want to publicly celebrate one or both of their deaths. I'm sure they maybe had some one that probably loved them who might be grieving. I can't seeing anyone defending the legacy that's been left behind though

Weird but that happens to me sometimes when I write a post and then delete something. Not sure how to fix it.

I still need to play TW3 but I've been dragging my feet because the second game put me off the series pretty hard and I'veheard you have to play different characters at some points in the game which is an instant turn off.
