by zeroKnots on 2006-08-09 17:24:24Maybe this is the advent of a new form of government called `democracy`. I cant see voting for game-show-hosts (no disrespect intended) and trying to appeal to congressmen as democracy. We are in the start of a communications age that wont ever end until we do, and if we're not at least questioning the whole idea of the necessity of leadership right now, its because we think its to hurculean a task to replace whats in place and (allegedly) working. The whole trick I think would be secure and verifiable votes, filtration without censorship or BBC-like 'moderation', and of course adherance to the constitution to restrain ourselves to idealistic reasonning. Great (popular or compelling by evidence) ideas float to the top, idiotic ideas sink to the bottom. I absolutely know this would work better than what we're doing now, if we were careful not to screw it up. First think existing power would want us to do is screw it up.
