Good Afternoon, David re: "How would you do better?"
Well, for starters, I'd ponder ways to empower the electorate by harnessing our nature and de-emphasizing partisanship. I'm sure there are many ways that can be done. You'll find an outline of one possibility at [Election-Methods] Selecting Leaders From The People Monday, February 4th, 2008 re: "Somehow that is a disconnect from what I had said." Perhaps. I, too, sometimes get the sense that we are talking at cross purposes. My purpose is, and has been, to call attention to the dangers inherent in allowing two political parties to maintain a stranglehold on our nation's political infrastructure. I offered a brief overview of the problem in my initial post on this topic: [Election-Methods] Partisan Politics Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 Fred ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
