It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

I used to consider term limits a viable option, but when you really think about it we have term limits. They're called elections. In order for them to work you need an involved electorate and and a limit to monetary influence. We have a lazy electorate and a system that allows money to dictate everything. Special interest groups would love term limits since it'd make things a lot easier for them if they know how long they'd have to "buy" someone for.
We need to restructure campaign finance laws. That's the only way to stop the constant campaigning for cash. Unfortunately with the Citizens United ruling, we can all thank the Supreme Court of putting an actual monetary value on everyone's vote.
I'm going to go ahead and close this down. It's just basically turned into a heap of side bashing.
