Right now it's difficult for the majority to represent themselves. The majority lacks the lobbyists necessary.
One suggestion is to have a Citizen's Government on the Net, set up in such a way people (registered voters) participate anonymously, and vote among themselves initiatives to be presented to Congress.
The most imporant thing is this. People need to start speaking out against stupid stuff like this, but the media is never going to report it. The media might just be too scared to report on controversial issues.
Buying stuff should be anonymous. They don't need to know personal information cause it's your right to privacy.
Returning stuff, they do have a right to some basic information. Imagine someone buying clothes, wearing it with the tags for one day, perhaps for a dance, then returning it the next day?
As for electronics, I don't know about that area.
And a side note, I hate it when forms ask me for a phone number, in a required way. I do NOT have my own phone line. And no, I don't like putting down someone else's phone number that I have access to.
We need a whole new system of elections. And while I do not know exactly how it works right now, I have a very good idea.
For Congressional Districts, redistrcting can cause problems making it unfair. One idea is try to make the Congressional District along the boarders of the counties as best as possible. Or have a statewide STV election.
As for abolishing the Electoral College, I don't know. I do know that we need to prevent election fraud, whether it's rigged electronic voting, missing ballots, unsent absentee ballots, provisional ballots being ignored, etc.
Third parties need to be included in debates. Also, free airtime to all parties for the Presidential race.
Maybe it's time we elect the President and VP separately? Perhaps it would be better if by some chance, we get a Democratic President and Republican VP. Maybe that could help with the balance of power, cause the other one might prevent some corruption.
Perhaps the even year General election after the Presidential election (2006, 2010, 2012, etc), a recall vote be required. The idea of this is if a President gets a 50+% recall vote, perhaps he or she shouldn't serve out the rest of the term.
Putting that quote from Alex Jones' Prison Planet.tv site was a side note that I didn't really intend to justify my first comment. Let me break down my first comment.
Do we really trust an Osama bin Laden tape that's surfaced right before the election?...I believe a lot of people kept saying there would be an October surprise right before the election, and here it is. So that makes me think.
How do we know who really made it, or is responsible?...Tapes can be doctored. I'm not exactly saying it is, but I'm saying there's the possibility.
And why would Osama bin Laden decide to finally clame responsibility after he said he didn't do it?...I'm curious as to why Osama bin Laden would wait so long to claim responsibility.
I wonder if there are any laws regarding taking a projector and showing a publically released movie perhaps on the White House? Say Fahrenheit 9/11, if it were to be publically released.
I'm real curious about the laws concerning this. It's true that it doesn't leave damage, but still, you're trespassing on someone's property with light.
So Washington, D.C. has their own football team. And soon the Montreal Expos, a team in Canada, will be moving to the U.S.'s nation capitol. Kind of makes you think.
It really says something when Stanley Hilton, the former senior advisor to Senator Bob Dole, says something like that. It is no longer just an insane conspiracy theory when someone says they have evidence and is planning on challenging it legally. I for one isn't going to believe everything the media says.
Even if we had a Libertarian President, he or she would still have go to through Congress to make the laws. But most third parties would end up creating a change for the better, no matter how extreme they may sound. But nonetheless, it would be an interesting experiment.
The biggest problem I have with that is http://www.policestate21.com/ cause there's no way it was an accident when taking down those towers. With the bombs or whatever being set off right before hitting the towers.

And a site note, http://www.prisonplanet.tv/audio/091004hilton.mp3 "This [9-11 terror] was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder." Stanley Hilton (former senior advisor to Senator Bob Dole), 2004 interview
Here are my comments regarding "So even if the Department of Education was constitutional--and it clearly is not--we should disband that agency because it is terribly inefficient."
That's kind of a scary thing to read, but consider this. That's only part of his plan. Perhaps with the completion of his whole plan, it could work, with people helping other people who can't afford school.
Also, please consider this. Unlike the current top two politicians, he's not trying to become President in order for power and control. Badnarik seems to care about the issues, instead of providing false promises in order to become leader of the third largest country in the world.
The better question, would the American Founding Fathers and Mothers go for this idea? What would they think? Were the Founder 'Parents' for or against big government?
Why not close all business loopholes and perhaps create a flat business income tax? This way there's no weaseling out of it somehow. Wouldn't this increase tax revenue? Perhaps only on businesses making over a certain amount, since small businesses could be hurt.

What do the businesses, which will be required to make this change, think of this? Do they like Big Brother stepping in?
I don't like the concept of a big government. The concept of stealing HD programming needs to be dealt with another way entirely.

I said this before.
"The Internet should be for the People, by the People, and of the People. There has to be a better solution than having the U.N. get involved."

I believe a better question is does collective consciousness somehow affect the outcome of certain events, and could some events be tied together?

Remember September 11th 2002, the New York Lottery came out 9-1-1? That was very coincidental.

This is a funny thing someone made, nothing more. It satires real life in a way.

If you can't sleep it off, why not play video games, read books, or something else? It seems like a simple solution.
Those fees would hurt the students who don't listen to music. So it's very unfair.

A senior citizen would be getting a net gain with something like http://fairtax.org/.
You mean like http://fairtax.org/? That would solve a lot of problems, and hopefully end all issues of outsourcing too.

Condorcet is a method that will use one's lower choice to help defeat one's earlier choices.
You're assuming too much. Try going through the site to see reasons for why that person posted such stuff.
I kind of like Candidate Election Methods.
