Scott Adams Proposes a Fourth Branch of Government

LoLobey writes "Dilbert creator Scott Adams is proposing a fourth branch of government in the WSJ. He describes it as 'smallish and economical, operating independently, with a mission to build and maintain a friendly user interface for citizens to manage their government.' It's a humorous article with some interesting ideas including internet access as a constitutional right and a constitutional ban on all election contributions for any candidate that polls above 10%. He's primarily proposing a method of getting verifiably accurate information on various issues to aid voters in making decisions, but despairs on his own blog about reader's comments on the article."

  1. And nothing about rape in it? by bareman · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    from Scott 'all men are naturally rapists' Adams...

    He must be sure that a little information will help us for those brief moments when we're not obsessing about rape.

    Then again, considering what Republicans and Democrats have done to us, I can see how government got Scott's attention.
