     I think this is an idea that deserves some thought.  Our elected officials
spend too much time and energy running for re-election.  Every decsion they
make is thought over with re-election in mind.  Perhaps we would be better off
with officals who didn't have to worry about being re-elected.  They could
make decisions based on what is good for the country not on what will get
them re-elected.

	... on the other hand, it could cause a "grab for all the graft you
can get, because you only go around once in office" syndrome.
				We all know it's not the elected officials
				who hold the REAL power, anyway, don't we.
