Very interesting thought Tstone. Kind of a continuing referendum the people vote on?

Very often I think most people I see aren't bright enough to know the repercutions their vote will cast, I'll have even more of a difficult time believing them to be capable to make their own decisions.

It sounds totalitarian of me, of course, but representative government isn't all about the logistics of it. It's also about having (hopefully) the most qualified people in terms of negotiations, in terms of knowledge of international relations, economy and strategy...

I just wanna be king... ever since I saw Mel Brooks as Louis the whatevereenth grabbing some womans arse from behing, sighing, looking us in the eye and saying with a brooklin accent: -It's good to be the king!
