I now have your 8 commandments printed up on the wall Al, but I have a
reluctant memory, so a few relapses back into old habits might still occur
(are there any dire consequences for recalcitrants, like a spell on the rack
?). Anyway, now that I have done my pennance... My copy of the original
Western Australian Laws are 900km away but, this much I do remember; in
those days, you did not vote for those you wanted as a representative,
instead you VOTED OUT all those you did not want! Methinks this to be the
best idea yet (it was known as the Australian vote). Also, any voting system
now devised must be able to be done via the net as, anyone in the near
future not-i-netted, will be at the same disadvantage as those now without a
telephone - not owning a telephone does not prevent you getting access to
one; ditto the i-net and the future.
