very needed in IMO, we don't need 30 years of bushes and clintons, or any other family for that matter

Teddy Roosevelt
and FDR This amendment is unnecessary. Of course, it would be ideal not to elect members of the same family over and over again. However, if the American people choose to elect certain members of the same family then no one should interfere. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

But I agree nonetheless. Bush has fucked things up so badly that I doubt any member of his family would have even a chance of getting elected, at least anytime soon. 30 years from now, though, who knows? -------------------- |
