Not direct democracy, not the rule of the people

[Rohan Jayasekera]

Fred,

The point I was trying to make was that "a system that taxes the people and then asks them how to spend the tax money" 
can't be dismissed as ludicrous because it's what we already have.  Michael was talking only of making that aspect of 
the government explicit, which I don't see as "adding another level" but rather separating things which today are lumped 
together.  One of the things I like about Votorola is that it supports separating issues that can be voted on 
individually.

Anyway, understood that this discussion went in a direction you didn't intend!
