Or..

I have had another epiphany about government. What about a layered democracy? My civics teacher had a good point that a pure democracy just wouldn't work. People in Orlando wouldn't care if a road got paved in Seattle, so their votes wouldn't really count. But what if people in Seattle voted for the road in Seattle, the people in Orlando voted for the new airport in Orlando? What if the people in Georgia voted for a new interstate that would go from Atlanta, to Savannah, to Alabama? What if the people in America voted for war? A great quote from someone was that it is impossible to govern without the consent of the governed. In my idea, the governing would be the governed. A small administration would still have to exist to decide which laws were voted on at which level, and interpret the laws in place for that purpose. This could lower taxes, because we wouldn't be paying thousands of dollars to have people choosing crap the people they're representing could buy, we could just do it ourselves and save the money. Taxes would still have to be around, of course to pay for that small delgation and public services, like roads. Everything else, like electricity and phone lines, could be commercialized, and kept competitve for the consumer, the public.

Any thoughts?
