Theoretically? Yes. Practically? No. The practical ideal is a minimalist decentralized government. Electronic participation in decision making by We the People of Earth can be facilitated with the internet. In a small way...this is what is happening here on Avalon...except we aren't voting. Actually...that would be a cool idea...for us to vote on various issues. Who knows what that might lead to? Ross Perot was correct when he suggested the Electronic Town Meeting. At the time...everyone laughed.
I'm not laughing. We don't need a dictatorship. We don't need anarchy. We need Constitutional Responsible Freedom. Sorry for the broken record.
