Hey, where's DougR when we need him the most. Jus funnin'

Little Hawk: Yeah, brother, you've laid out a much preferable sytem to the lame one we have now. The most important feature is public financing. This would take care of 99% of the problems of being in public service. I would, however, suggest one change to your system. Rather than no parties, I'd rather see a bunch and based on the number of registrations in each a porportionate number of representatives would be involved. So, if there are 10% of the voters who register as Green Party members then 10% of the representative would be from the Green Party. If 2% of the voters registered as LaRouche folks than 2% of the reps.... Yeah, you get it. Then, you really do come closer to a truely democratic sysytem as everyone as some voice and representation.

Democracy, as it is practiced and perhaps under you one party system leave out a lot of folks on both ends. Hey, I would rather have a right wing militia KKK type making his pitch in the House of Representatives than feeling so excluded that he's gonna blow up a federal building. Likewise, on my side, I'd like a Martin Luther King, a Dr.Ben Spock or Ralph Nader arguing on my behalf. Yeah, that seem to be a more inclusive system where the middle doesn't always win everything.
