Two way street there. It depends on the limits for sure. Our local city council elections netted us 3 clowns that think they are smarter than everyone else but don't have a clue. The learning curve is so long that by the time they catch on to how things work it's time for another election.

good, means less time to screw crap up
 
The issue really is about honesty and integrity. IF we had people like that in office they could stay longer.
 
Honestly, after the cruise i would rather be working. Tried yesterday, it was difficult.

But they don't, because they understand that's part of holding an office - knowing how important it is to pass the baton back to those who put them there.

Gary Wills argues that George Washington made this his number one goal as Commander in Chief (of the Continental Army). And, after the Constitution was adopted, he made the same point as President. The American Cincinatus.
Its about character, honor and respect more than any written rules...
 
Hey Guys, Just thought I'd drop in for a few. Finally got my wiring done. Well done for now. There's a few things to be wrapped up later, but I can start on other stuff like plumbing and floors now.

An honest politician with integrity?

That’s like asking nature for a Tiger with no teeth or claws...and doesn’t like the taste of meat.

at work this morning. Had a really tough day, so got to read it several times. Thank you for the inspiration.

We were awoken last night at 2:32 am by a call from the local police. My brother-in-law had a massive heart attack and they were rushing him to the hospital.

He apparently made his way to a neighbors apartment and pounded on the door before going into cardiac arrest. The neighbor didn’t know what was going on and called 911 to report the incident. When police arrived he was unresponsive, no pulse or breathing. They performed CPR and used a AED to get his heart going again.

Upon arrival at the hospital he was still unresponsive and they couldn’t get him to regain consciousness. They immediately put him in ICU, intubated him and pumped him with drugs to sedate and immobilize his muscles and iced him down to lower his body temp to 90*.

Now he sits as a popsicle until tomorrow and then they warm him back up and see if he has any chance at surviving. Nobody knows how long he was in arrest before they got to him but for every minute the survival chances drop by 10%. He’s probably got less than a 50/50 chance at survival and less than a 30% chance of not having severe brain damage.

His condition is now minute by minute and we won’t know where anything stands until he survives the next 48 hours and they can begin really testing. Right now, the only focus is to keep him alive until then.

Helluva day.

Far North? North of Manitoba? Tailgate for his canine drawn pickup? Don't laugh at me just because I'm from SoCal. I lived in Brandon for 3 months while my father worked on a slip-form concrete grain silo. One of the best summers ever. I've seen Lake Winnepeg, one of the most spectacular sights I've ever seen. I tried to get the parental units to leave me there, no luck. They said it would screw up there income taxes :rofl:. Take care of yourself Tool. It's not like any flu I've ever had. It kinda showed me why the flu kills people.

He’s the one that had the liver transplant back in June due to liver cancer.

Years of alcohol plus Hepatitis C destroyed his liver. He has been doing everything he can to destroy himself all his life and it only got worse after the transplant. He never went back to alcohol, but he damn sure ignored everything they told him he needs to do and did the complete opposite in most cases.

His life, his choices. I'm sure it's tough going thru this but hopefully he pulls thru and comes out 100 percent healthy.
