Direct Democracy is a sympathetic system. The People leads the people. :)

one small step from an individual. one giant leap for society

in b4 butthurt right wingers like juniorbacon chee with the whole "but the people making their own desicions? MOB RULE OMG WE NEED OVERLORD LEGISLATOR MASTERS"

[thewildvagipuss]

Nope, you don't mean "the people" you mean the majority of people in an arbitrary geographic region, who do what their favorite cable news pundit tells them to. I guess you wouldn't mind if the majority of the people who are sitting with you in a room decide to "tax" you. LOL juniorbaconchee doesn't think we need legislative masters, he's an anarchist...

[chorizo1337]

no anarcho caps (those on the right) are more in favor of legislation. Yes he is an anarchist, but he thinks democracy sucks,

In a stateless society, people should be/will be making the choices for society. If you have people making your choices for you again like we do now, it wont be much different than a state

[thewildvagipuss]

No, ancaps don't want a state at all. What do you mean when you say "if you have people making choices for you" ?

[johncantees]

His rants were the reason I liked him. He reminds me of my grandpa. Except a little more politically informed =)

[oldhacks]

a truly enlightened figure in American history.

[johndownunder]

You are 100% correct the only guy who ran in the presidential election who talked like a real President and had the character to be one was Mike Gravel.The best US Statesman i have seen he actually cares about American families and the future their children will inherit. His political record reflects a man of courage unlike many politicians today.

Always good to see you spreading the word. :)

[cheesesam]

Gravel is one smart cookie. Just goes to show that those who speak the truth are most often ignored.

[vincentwolf1]

SO SO VERY TRUE. WAKE UP PEOPLE. YOUR STATES RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION ARE EXTREMELY STRONG. (TENTH AMENDMENT) Thank you Cilla you are a real jewel.

[DecentralizedByGuilt]

The is so much more than just using the 10th amendment.

we have to been able to vote on federal issues. like wars, universal healthcare, balanced trade agreements, etc

[CillaF1]

Yes Vincent, this was the man to vote for in 2008. Sadly he was being thrown off the radar before anyone had a chance to educated themselves about him or even know that he was running for president. The things the media did in this last election was the proof positive that something is not right and that it was a set up from the get go. If only people truly wanted to educate themselves about the candidates before voting and not just listen to one word; CHANGE. Moronic.

[CillaF1]

Oh so sad to watch.

This could have been right now.

[oldhacks]

it's always "right now"

[ArtificialCleverenAI]

Awesome.
