Can't survive as citizen let alone politician

Many citizens considered too 'dangerous' to be selected for:

Jacksonville Waterways Commission
Water Management District
Enviro Protection Board

CS Foltz

north miami...........that is too true! Heaven forbid that a lowly citizen might fill a spot on any one of the three or even the City Council!

Drafting politicians.  Though it's not like there's no precedent for it.  Apparently most the founding fathers had to drag George Washington to become the President of a group of broken, argumentative, mentally insane, temperamental people which formed the 13 colonies.

Gentlemen............this idea has possibilities! There would be no favored this or that or party preference! Lottery could be used to provide people to fill the slots and poop on the lobbyists! Makes too much sense, so forget it! But this does intrigue me........citizen to representative!
