One of the issues we have talked about over the list in the
past is term limits. Vernon is a big fan, and I like the idea
myself. I should mention, however, that there was an article in
Sunday's NYT which pointed out that just about every political office
in Mexico, from president on down to mayors, is restricted to one
term. No re-elctions. It hasn't done much to reduce the power of the
polticians, they just keep moving upward.
Of course, it might be argued that term limits have kept
Mexico from being even worse.
