Them "good ole boy" s have infested the government at every level. May not be rid of them til they age out.

I've been hoping for that for a long time, but for every one that has the grace to age out and die, at least one more ages in.

This is the problem. I'm in my mid-40s and I have seen new "good ol' boys" move into the system as their predecessors die or retire.

The system is self-perpetuating.

No, this is giving up and letting them have their way with the system until they're done. Which they'll never be - they don't age out because they keep bringing in new good ol' boys.

They need to be replaced. One by one, step by step, the same way they got in.
