IMHO, most of our problems can really be boiled down to that.
If all politicians were term limited, and by extension the influence of lobbyists and campaign contributions were minimized, things would be alot better than they are.
Things like that pledge of allegiance bill are perfect examples. Most pols would sign that bill because they're worried about their careers. Ventura didn't because he wasn't a career pol.
