Mayor Bloomberg.

Laws are a journey and not the destination. The welfare of the people is the destination and if we can get to the destination by breaking the law; then the law must be broken for the good of the people.
Mayor Bloomberg is an exceptionally talented financial wizard. While most billionaires have seen a decline in their fortune he has steadily added billions to his. He has also demonstrated that he is a very successful mayor. He has the technical know how to navigate the complex minefields of the political landscape of this greatest city in the world. No one who is out there can bring his capacity brain power to the job of mayor.

In fact Mayor Bloomberg is so brilliant that in current times he would be a formidable Presidential contender if he had chosen to run. Not least because of his billions. If the only reason he cannot become a Mayor for a third term is because of the two year term limit then I think the law should be changed for this one time. New York City needs him in these dire financial rapids. Laws are made for the welfare of the people. Laws in themselves are meaningless. Laws are a means to a better life and if there is a law that hurts the people then this law has to be changed or at least it must be ignored in this unique case. Laws are a journey and not the destination. The destination is the welfare of the people and if we can get to the destination by breaking the law; then the law must be broken for the good of the people. Mayor Bloomberg must be allowed to try for a third term.

After all he is not asking for an automatic third term just a chance to compete for a third term. Wisdom suggests that he be allowed to try for a third term. New York City needs him. We need his financial expertise. We need his brilliance in all fields. We need his experienced wisdom.
