The Institute was founded in 1946 by a group of key figures at the Tavistock Clinic including Elliott Jaques, Henry Dicks, Leonard Browne, Ronald Hargreaves, John Rawlings Rees, Mary Luff and Wilfred Bion, with Tommy Wilson as chairman, funded by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Other well-known names that joined the group later were John D. Sutherland, John Bowlby, Eric Trist, and Fred Emery. Kurt Lewin, a member of the Frankfurt school in America, was an important influence on the work of the Tavistock, according to Eric Trist, who expresses his admiration for Lewin in his autobiography.
Many of these founding members of the Tavistock Institute went on to play major roles in psychology. John Rawlings Rees became first president of the World Federation for Mental Health.[1]
Jock Sutherland became director of the new post-war Tavistock Clinic, when it was incorporated into the newly established British National Health Service in 1946. Ronald Hargreaves became deputy director of the World Health Organization. Tommy Wilson became chairman of the Tavistock Institute.

Well, here in 2013 - it ain't working.
Who believes anything the gov't says anymore? A third of the country? Maybe.
You can bet almost half of the country is really starting to believe that the gov't is the problem.

The government needs fixing and good. Rand Paul is pushing for term limitations again with a petition. I suppose this would be a start. Many young politicians are eager to do the right thing. But once they are exposed to all the temptations it is only a matter of time before they bite. Well, I would like to think not all of them. The term limitations would keep our representatives ideas fresh and their motives for the good of the people..

So the whole nation should suffer because the electorate in a few districts aren't aware enough to vote out some dinosaur who has sat in office for half his life and contributed nothing but adding to the greed and corruption? Sounds like a silly reason to be opposed to term limits. Term limits work out well in every other political office that they are applied, so please tell me a good reason why they shouldn't be implemented here.
Also elections are not term limits. You can vote someone out of office one election, but they can turn around and run for the same seat again the next election. That isn't a term limit.edit on 9-8-2013 by Krazysh0t because: (no reason given)

I didn't say I was opposed to term limits. I just stated the obvious that we already have them, they are called elections.
I'm against term limits.
Answer me this, if there was a national vote tomorrow to implement term limits in Congress, would you vote yes or no on it?
