What I don't understand is why the government is so removed from its people. With modern technologies you'd think we would be able to bring the control back. If millions of people each week can vote for American Idol, why can't people vote on important decisions? Understandbly there'd be technical issues to be worked out, but nearly every household has a computer now and I'm not ever sure why we would need to elect represented officials. Anyone could submit a proposition and everyone could vote on it.
Maybe I'm living in a dream world, but I really hope something like that eventually takes form. I'm sure if you conducted a census the average person would not decide to piss off Russia for no apparent reason, or declare WWIII because of a few crazy terrorists.
