Not at all. I think we should elect representatives and empower them to make these decisions for us. We should be very careful in who we elect as our representative though. We need to start holding these representatives directly accountable for their decisions. There needs to be a reasonable "checks and balance" process and an independent review of all policies to make sure they are fair and reasonable.

But nah, my whacky idea probably would never catch on.
