There's hope in those words. Don't become a politician. Become a servant to the public. There's a big difference - one that is easily forgotten when you have rich lobbyists in your face waving money, power, promises and p... well, the word that got Trump in trouble lately.

Term limits are great for excising the current cancer. The problem is that the incoming "new blood" are already looking at how to get over in a system that's yet fully depleted and the people are as gullible as last year. Just paint a new target and direction, they'll follow.

People forget all too easily that each and every politician can be recalled. We need to do that more often.
