Re: Remembering democracy
Richard, I've followed your thoughtful postings here and elsewhere and I'm pretty sure Atilla the Hun was too liberal for your taste. I agree with the others that recall could use tuning. I wouldn't mind seeing the recall process replaced with an impeachment process. Malfeasance, fraud, corruption, or commission of another felony are great reasons to pitch an elected official out of office. The people's momentary inflamations, infatuations, and name calling just aren't cause enough for aborting an elected term. Remember the reasons for having long terms for government executives. It takes time to learn the job. And many programs take years to supervise and produce results. Didn't the founding fathers think along those lines?
