Hi Leland! A direct democracy decides every question by an election. The people would think they were controlling everything, but, of course, the people who counted the votes would be the actual power. Kind of what Bill Arnold wants to have as evidenced by his occasional diatribes, with himself and maybe commondreams at the switch of course. With a representative form such as the republic we have there are checks and balances so no one can tell us how we voted when it is really how they *say* we voted. We vote for electors who vote for the president, we vote for representatives and senators who make the legislative decisions, we vote for local officials who make local decisions. >>>> The United States of America is one of the oldest constitutional >>>> republics in the world.
