A good and interesting thought Steve, however, the downside of this
approach is time
that it would take to make large decisions - not that I actually
disagree with the
method, I just think it would need a very clever decision making
paradigm to make it work.
I think we all agree with TeaLeg's point that something is very wrong
with the way in which we are governed, taxed and recieve our services.
I also think Steve should really be living in a commune ;)
