Thread Name: BS: Clint Eastwood's Convention Speech
Subject: RE: BS: Clint Eastwood's Convention Speech
Bobert at 10:51: "Fire Congress and appoint a new one by lottery... Kinda like jury duty...
100 people randomly chosen for 4 year terms would fix this country better than any elected body...
Just another detail on how it would work... One year before the end of a legislative term the next legislature would be appointed so they would have a full year of training in Roberts Rules, budgets, the way the government works and various issues facing the country... This way there would be no lag time between legislatures...
And......one single 6 year term for presidents so they don't have to waste their first term doing stuff to get re-elected...

This will fix America..."

But, see, Beaubear, I am well-and-truly tired of statements like that. They are the kind that Little Hawk makes and ake and god knows who all. I am interested only in what can and may and must happen. Things we may be able to put into practice. And proposals like that are just not going to happen. At least not unless and until a revolution of thought and prospects occurs.
