physical goods need to be protected by laws - laws against theft - and those that produce, distribute, and sell physical goods need to be stakeholders in the creation and ongoing maintenance/changes of those laws
services need to be protected by laws - contract law - and those that deliver those services need to be stakeholders in the creation and ongoing maintenance/changes of those laws
digital media, ideas, art, need to be protected by laws - copyright and counterfieting law - and those that create those medias need to be stakeholders in the creation and ongoing maintenance/changes of those laws
and the same for any other law - those who PRODUCE or DELIVER need to be involved/consulted
this in no way minimizes the involvement of those who consume - nor do we want them minimized - we just don't want to be dictated to - which is what you want - you want the CONSUMER to dictate how a thing is given to them (free preferably) and totally minimize any say that the PRODUCER may have in the transaction
you really are a moron sometimes
