The governmental baby and its bathwater

Depending on the continent, 4 or 5 year terms are current for politicians, except for despotic regimes like China or Russia. 

Yet, in these days of rampant dissatisfaction, impatience, conspiracy theories channeled into unchained torrents by social media, electors demand idealistic perfection, believe huge lies, pick on peccadilloes and want change for just the sake of it. 

On the opposite side of the spectrum policies need consistency and long term application to work. Think of at least 10 or 15 years that are often require to produce results and make their mark. 

So unless the politician who is fired is totally incompetent, completely nuts or a proven thief, we might be better advised to let his/her programs take root, mature and bloom instead of throwing, over and over again, the baby out with the bathwater. 

We should carefully examine ourselves every day as our own image is reflected to us in that proverbial mirror, and agree that just like us, no one is perfect. 

That way, instead of kicking out of office imperfect known entities who have started to work on something that makes sense, we install in their place total strangers whose governing experience is totally impossible to predict and place them into a totally unknown and strange environment, foolishly hoping that they will do better. 

Pretty insane, let’s at least agree on this...
