Tyrannical ?

With election day having just passed and Mayor Bloomberg winning again for a third term, I am left wondering the impact on the executive power a mayor has and how it will influence future mayor term limits. Although there is a two year term limit for the president of the United States there is none for a mayor of a state. It took President Franklin D. Roosevelt four terms served during the Great Depression to force Congress to mandate the two year term limit.

Many have argued that President F.D.R's years in office was to some extent, tyrannical, almost dictorial. In NYC, Mayor Bloomberg won by a mere 4.6% to his opponent,William C. Thompson.Perhaps many people do not realize the lasting effect this may have on our state system. Because of the lack of check on the term limit, what is not to stop Mayor Bloomberg from running again at the end of his term ? There is absolutely nothing, anywhere unless Congress intervenes with the reserved powers of the state.

Now I am not naive, believe it or not politics influence are very existances. As John Locke believes, we entrust our government to protect the right of the people. Music, art, family, lifestyles all sprout from government in some way. I do believe that we should take some time out of our lives and try to understand what is going on in the government. It is part of the reason why I wrote this small article in offering a perspective to the world and nothing more.
