My view is that the reduced time would attract more honest people than crooks and the crooks would be easier to ferret out.

I think that one of the main reasons it DOES take so long to get things going is because the "longevity" members prevent new people from doing anything because it will make them look bad.

As far as the busybees needing more power, you're undoubtedly correct - if the situation didn't fundamentally change. First thing to do is remind all government employees WHO pays their salaries and WHO they work for. Today, this aspect is largely ignored and civil servants have become our masters.

Don't worry, I'm an idealist. No real change in favor of the people will ever take place.

I agree that no real change will occur -- at least not at any rate faster than a glacier moves.
