My Scrawny Little X
Having now exercised the full might of my individual democratic power…I am left to ponder for four more years the full extent of individual involvement in the supposed democratic decision-making process.
All that is left to me now is to wait a full four years before I can scrawl my next scrawny little X. I feel powerful, don’t you?
Merriam-Webster defines democracy as: ‘government by the people; especially: rule of the majority.
Couldn’t we have a ten question referendum?…Or ten questions a week?…Or ten questions a day?…How else could a government know the will of the people?…
Couldn’t we allow democracy to actually occur in our modern world?…Collect the votes and enable, directly, policies that the people endorse?…Heaven forbid we should stop leaving all decision-making to a handful of hands-tied representatives who decide everything according to the whims of the temporary king.
