Question: How does something that doesn't do anything stop doing nothing?
Does it put anyone in the mood for a revolution? Can we scrap the whole thing and start over? Our political system is as old as the country, practically. I wouldn't mind some EVOLUTION, but we'd probably need to start with a revolution.
I've had the idea to make the government more like a social network, such as Facebook. Our jacked-in society could vote "Like" on issues and stuff. A true democracy where every vote does in fact count and it can be given anywhere. We could greatly decentralize leadership. It really could be for the people and by the people.
Of course, there's hackers and security issues, but we need to find a better system that isn't the thinly disguised farce it is today.
