Waxman has done a lot of good for the country. But no matter how effective the person, a 40 year tenure is way too long for anyone to be a member of Congress. The desire that we as a culture have on brand familiarity is one of our most harmful attributes. Term limits should be no more than 3 terms for any member of the US or State Congress.

While I want my coffee supplying company to be somewhat consistent, even they change offerings from time to time. I want the state and fed .gov to better respect the Will Of The People and having a person as an effective ritual to a static ideology destroys reasonable and timely progress for the country.
