 @2b81357c The very best use of power is knowing who and when to pass it off to. If you cannot be trusted with that, I cannot trust you with anything.

 @53de482a @2b81357c One serious great failing of the modern US Congress is the the omission of career politicians in choosing and mentoring successors. This once was a tradition, and  it should be again to keep our government connected to the people it purports to represent.
