    Representation is not about some person claiming to represent you as that could have happen at the start of this country where someone in Britain could have claimed such.

    This core change really is quite simple and its true to the original Hackers Ethic, Mistrust authority — promote decentralization.

    There are some thing universally accepted as not being patent-able: Natural Law, Physical Phenomenon, Abstract Ideas and from these we also get Mathematical Algorithms.

    Playing "can't see the forest for the trees" ?

    Every goal starts out with a general idea that gets broken down into doable easy to do parts.
    The complexity we have today didn't just appear and complexity reduction is certainly a worthwhile goal.
    Complexity increase also increases error and abuses and can and has been done with intention of profiting off errors and ability to hide cheating in the complexity..

    As I said else where, this core change can and should start out with local government, then state and eventually federal.
    There is value in structures for the optimization of team work benefits shared by the team members and citizens of the team.

    The real tell is simply asking people in general if they would like to tell government at all levels where they want their taxes to be spent.

    As a reminder, a lot of things were said about Free Open Source Software, that this or that would happen, that it needed this other or that other and of course "it'll never work" and plenty more. But against all these speculations... it works. And it provides a working model of how participatory democracy can work within this Republic of the United States. Also there is local, state and federal government where taxes are levied and collected, so things can be sorted out on the local levels in getting this going, so that no major mistakes happen at the federal level. In analogy this is how politicians get into politics and move up. Maybe start out with taxpayers directing 10% of the taxes they pay will also help people get use to such participating but ultimately more. It becomes the responsibility of government to make education material available as to what and why they need tax funding. and as has been said elsewhere, participation works better than being subjected to.

    And the ultimate bonus for Congress, they can take more vacations when we take budgeting is off their plate.... shrug..

    The Declaration of Independence has instructions for the people, written by the experienced and wise founders of this country (Republic of the United States of America). They foresaw the probability of corrupt government and recognized the Peoples right and duty to put off such government and replace it with whet a system that adheres to the intents of the founders in protecting the interest of the people.

    This thread.is really rather exposing of the corruption that has become of slashdot posters. I wonder how many actually know sourceforge and slashdot are related.

    No he didn't. He got a 5 for dismissing a valid solution with a simple smart as remark. This is slashdot.

    Understand what the word extrapolation means. It mean you have to think, work out the details of how this works.

    I.E. its not all or nothing as he clearly insinuates as well as insinuating that nobody wants to participate in democracy. Try asking people randomly off the street if they would like to tell government where to spend their money if you want a real answer.

    So we create a form that is included with our tax returns instructing government where to spend our taxes and on that form there are allocations listed as well as fill in the blank

    Since he doesn't want to think and for those like him/her. you can check off a box that says "let the government decide" for me. But not everyone will do that.

    Ever hear of this things called Free Open Source Software? Check it out, how it works.
