Should we have to participate though? And what is defined as participation?

Our system was supposed to be run by citizens, but upon what basis is that participation? The first group of people I would rule out of participating in government are those who want to participate in government. In my utopia that would be a way to weed people out similar to jury selection. You don't pick a recovering alcoholic (with notable exceptions) to watch the bar, or a fox to guard a henhouse. What could go wrong?

Anytime Democracy is mentioned. There is the almost boilerplate response that this is a republic. Anyone who has experienced the last three years though, do you really want policy decided by group consensus? What about a vocal minority? Should decisions affecting Washington state be decided in Washington DC?

Generally speaking, aren't better decisions made the closer they are made. Wouldn't I be able to determine what I consider to be "hot" versus what someone else determines is a comfortable temperature?

While the days of being left alone are over, the dream should be kept alive. I think it goes further than leaving the insane with access to the levers of power, it is either removing the system itself, or dismantling it. I wouldn't mind giving the CDC a clown car to run. But its days of determining what others can do should also be over.

And these Legion ofDoom wannabes of the WEF, let them have their ceremonial dinners and convocations...and then we publish all their ideas in Mad Magazine where they belong.
