Term Limits and Fighting the Status Quo

Note: I often go on little rants on Twitter when the mood strikes instead of writing things here. As such, I’ve decided to go back and pull the threads and change them into blog posts, if only so this blog doesn’t sit completely fallow between times when I decide to post things.

You can read it there, but I’m going to expand on some of the things I said below in a format that might be a little easier to read: Continue reading “Term Limits and Fighting the Status Quo”
