Keep Heap AND Keep Term Limits

By

Sheriff Heap is good for Elbert County and should be retained.

Also, term limits are a necessity in today’s electoral politics.

Therefore voters should support a measure that would temporarily waive the imposition of a term limit requirement for the office of sheriff, with the proviso that the measure would sunset shortly after the election and thereby reinstate the term limit requirement for the office of sheriff for future elections.

It’s entrenched politicians calling for the elimination of term limits. The people, however, are more protected from political overreach if they use waivers as required, and leave the hard-won default term limit in place.

Saturday evening, these two young antelope and a couple others left the herd to chase this hare up the hill toward our house. The hare grazed near the house while the antelope watched him from the fence. They wouldn’t come into the yard. After a couple minutes the antelope lost interest and ran back to rejoin the herd.

Some of the other visitors on Sunday. . . .

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Aristotle

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."

Karl Popper

“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
