But... but... when we -The People- exterminate the vermin and overhaul the system with its new checks... shoot. Pigs fly, right?

Another soaring pig idea is that since we also overhaul the education system as tritorch suggests, upon reaching age, say, 28, every educated citizen becomes part of the servant pool, like the jury pool. Intelligence matters. So does character. That winnows the eligible pool. Anyone can be called to serve. There is civic desire baked into the psyche as a result of the education system. It's desirable to have your number come up. Term limits, always. No career politicians. Elections, still. Mentorship for newcomers to the office as part of the transition. Support teams built into the office, also with contracts limiting how long they can stay in the job. There is constant rotation, as said always with mentorship for newcomers; a passing of the baton. No career government jobs. It's a whole new system, same or similar offices and functions but only a shadow of what we have now. Pigs fly, right? Oh wait, I said that already. Not to mention @Fla Mom has set me on the straight. But... but... Eeesh. Never mind.
