I almost want the U.S. to go to a full popular vote

Pay election officials like pro sports stars to keep elections honest.

Federal government still makes international and defense calls with a 25% popular vote say in those decisions.

Internal issues are by popular vote. It will initially suck when the idiot masses get their say, but when things go south you would see the masses become more educated and invested leaving all these fucking piece of shit politicians in so callled "representative government" out of work.

I completely realize the faults in this, but I AM that horrified by ALL politicians on both sides of the aisle.

New health care popular vote

Do you want "universal heath care"?

If "yes"

Do you want 16,500 new IRS agents making sure you do?

If not, go back to question 1.

I know how ridiculous this sounds, but I've had it with representative government as we know it.

Just like Ehwmatt, I'm gonna start a small collection of guns and ammunition. If something happens, and I think it will eventually, I'll be ready. If not, Matt and I can have a duel to the death ... in which case being tall's gonna really suck.
