  • Do you support or oppose setting term limits on elected offices?

    If you oppose term limits, please explain why.

    If you support term limits, please explain why and state what limitations you'd select for local, state and federal offices.

    Term limits have been discussed for decades, and passed in some states. I'd like to know how many people support or oppose them, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

    Thanks!

  • Does anyone raise trout lilies (Erythronium americanum)?

    If so, can you suggest anything I might do to persuade my very healthy-looking plants to BLOOM?

    Many thanks!

  • What do you think of this proposal to induce people to VOTE!?

    No United States citizen can legally be required to PAY to vote...but what if registered voters were fined $50 for failing to cast any vote in primary or general elections?

    After all, one can always go to the polls and push the "cast ballot" button on a completely blank ballot, to show that one doesn't like any of the choices offered. In every state, an absentee ballot is available for anyone who'll be unable to go to his/her designated polling place. Many states now have early voting. In short, we're running out of excuses not to vote.

    After watching Iraqis stand in line for hours, uncertain whether they'd survive the process, but determined to exercise their brand-new right to vote, it was pretty embarassing to see our poor turnout at the next election we held here.

    Perhaps being fined for failing to exercise this most precious of our rights and most solemn of our responsibilities as citizens would induce more of us to get to the polls and VOTE! What do you think?
