Sorry to hear about your Father, and the lost love. Some folks just don't get the fact that a lost love can be akin to the death of a loved one. :(

Sorry, I cannot agree with term limits, although I do appreciate your suggestion for a second term for some of the people serving in Congress.
Assume you're the owner or manager of a business. Would you consider firing someone who's been doing good (or, arguably, excellent) work just because they'd been with the company for a certain period? It wouldn't make very good business sense.
We, the voters, hire and employ the people in Congress. We need to retain the productive ones and get rid of (vote out of the office) the dead-weights and obstructionists, without consideration for how long they've been in office. On this basis, I have to believe term limits could very well be more detrimental than productive.
Now we are really mixing productive and non productive. :E
I guess one of the things that really irks me is the fact that most politicians get a Golden parachute, that they voted for themselves by the way, while vets such as yourself that have served this once great country, but have to sweat it from pay check to pay check.
About that squirrel cage, I think it would be a whole lot quieter than the gas fed one. ;)
