Maybe there's a small part of the human population with brains that work in such a way that, if spyware were made illegal, people would suddenly become aware of it and try to protect themselves.
Or, it would probably be more effective to make it illegal to have spyware on your computer. The bill could say something about mandatory searches or something.
It would seem to me that if the security kinks of electronic and, even better, online voting could be worked out then a path to a more direct democracy would be opened.
And why stop at voting for getting accurate input from citizens?
In other words, Americans could get their noses into all sorts of government business.
