It would be one thing to show a system in place that you wish you could copy. This doesn't. It is literally something I came up with stoned about five years ago. This is a corporate paper getting traffic with that idea. In other words it is for their own power that they even selected the question.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-36585280930975083992013-01-18T15:28:13.040-05:002013-01-18T15:28:13.040-05:00I agree with Anonymous 1:49PM.

Cut down on staff, keep the elected officials at home and use modern communications technology for most of the legislating. I'm not saying I'm convinced, but as an idea it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-88171316657495469402013-01-18T13:49:57.293-05:002013-01-18T13:49:57.293-05:003100 hundred may be a bit high.

We have fewer representatives than Germany, Italy, UK, France, Japan, and Spain despite the fact we have more people than any of those countries. It also is unchanged from the early 1900's when we had about a third as many people. The elections in many cases would be cheaper would be one example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-59921481029949262652013-01-18T13:42:20.050-05:002013-01-18T13:42:20.050-05:00Bob Somerby:

But it does not follow that six or seven hundred would be proportionally a better depositary. And if we carry on the supposition to six or seven thousand, the whole reasoning ought to be reversed. ... In all very numerous assemblies, of whatever character composed, passion never fails to wrest the scepter from reason."DipsoFactonoreply@blogger.com
