Hey Jason and Katie;
Does your friend have a website? I'm sure his broadcasts are out of my
listening range but I'm very interested in that kind of stuff. There

The representative Republic we have in the US was setup by rich
landowners for rich landowners and it hasn't changed that terribly much
since then.
Zeke;
A democratic system modelled after a TV show. That is just perfect.
Why not? (shakes head sadly) TV is the basis for everything almost it
seems. Well as long as a large percentage of people vote it might be
good. (I invite criticizm here please) The larger the voting
population the

No one debates. The moderator pitches one question, which is ignored,

Or compared to the political debates of a hundred years ago when people
