Perhaps three for Senators and six for Representatives.<br /><br />If we had instant run-off and publicly funded elections... now you are really talking. I am sure both of those things come with their own set of problems or unintended consequences. <br /><br />If it was easy, it would not be so damn interesting.<br /><br />Have a great week Leo,<br /><br />AAndrew, Bridget, Walker, and Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759065310524049922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944448937249818035.post-90598762287327412332007-01-14T21:53:00.000-05:002007-01-14T21:53:00.000-05:00What gets me is the contradiction that is America....What gets me is the contradiction that is America. On one hand the government can be honest to a fault but on the other selfishly enriching a few over the many beyond our worst expectations. This is one of the reasons that I am a term limit fan and would like to see this extended to the cabinet and other non-elected officials. If we can take away the ability of individuals to accumulate power over the years then perhaps we can find a more ethical government. But perhaps I am dreaming...Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488222828586634378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944448937249818035.post-29465381721286149302007-01-13T14:50:00.000-05:002007-01-13T14:50:00.000-05:00It seems so logical to me.

Like you imply I wonder if the Iraqi's did this on their own or were "encouraged". Cynically I would not be surprised to find out that lobbyists were paying Iraqi officials for their vote. I suppose time will tell.<br /><br />I would like to see some recompense for the US taxpayers at some point rather than private industry reaping the benefit. I am always concerned that schools and public infrastructure pay too high a price for US foreign aid.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488222828586634378noreply@blogger.com
